Does it output html that validates according to the w3c standards?  
Frontpage was horrible for this, and Microsoft is notorious for setting 
their own de-facto "standards".  Does it output the "IE-friendly" html 
standard that Microsoft has used for ages that causes web designers such 
headaches trying to get their pages to render in all standards-compliant 
browsers *and* IE?  Is it configured to use cascading style sheets be 
default?  If everyone and their dog is going to be using Expression Web 
to code their html, I hope it's at least closer to being valid.  If 
you've ever viewed the page source in your browser at some well-known 
websites, you'll know that we are miles away from the goal of moving to 
a stricter set of standards that can be used unchanged by all browsers.

Paul (who codes his html in a text editor called vim and who is tired of 
coding it once for all browsers that follow the real standards like 
Firefox, Opera, and Safari only to have to bend over backwards to make 
it look good in IE without then screwing it up again for the others)
