Well I suggest you name names and show examples of compliant html 4.01 that doesn't show 100% of the intented content and doesn't at least resemble like what you intented.
Remember that the most important part of your webpages are to provide content. If your content is worth it, people will return regardless of little design issues. > Unless your '90% of browsers' refers to the browsers used by 90% of > your traffic and not 90% of the browsers available (of which there are > over 30 semi-common ones, to my knowledge) Possibly but those 30 semi common ones are almost always based on a common engine (like Geko, Mozilla, etc) and their quircks mode will horribly deform your pages thats why it's so important to set doctype and use coding that forces them to stick to standards compliant mode and not their quircks mode. Your reference to worms is misplaced. Obiviously your opinion differs from mine but that is no reason for insults or insinuations.
