I have 3-4 days to teach a graphic designer as much as possible about HTML
and CSS - obviously not long enough, but I should be able to teach them
enough to feel comfortable taking it from there themselves, yes?

Luckily I have until mid January to prepare.

This is what I'm thinking:

HTML structure
HTML elements, marking content up semantically
Styling content with CSS
Validation and testing against different browsers
Internet Explorer bugs
Turning a PSD into an HTML/CSS layout (this is very important to them) - how
to build a fluid design from a fixed size PSD
Optimization (images etc)
Organizing content so that it's easy to find things and pages aren't too
cluttered/not too many levels of navigation etc.
Where to find help on the Internet, how to post an example and ask the right
questions

Does anyone have any further suggestions or advice?

Is this too much for 3-4 days, if so what would you cut?

Am I forgetting anything important?

In some countries some content is not allowed. Add a shortcut on
"first level domains" if you have a time.

.... it depends if your (wo)man has to start to develop a webpage on
(her)v(his) own on the (4)v(5)th day.

Add the topic what HTML is NOT. (what is depricated and why if not
mentioned in the books.)

Yeah, I'm not sure if I should do this at the beginning, or at the end?

.... only to avoid problems when you want to handle things like frames or
target="_blank" ... now THE SUN is going down because the java docs
are still packed into frame sets. How do you want to point to a certain
preset content?
