You are absolutely correct Andreas. Bit the same as an Australian
Safety Standard, or Certificate of Electrical Compliance and the myriad
of other bits of pieces of terminology and standards that we live with
every day. But if we don't educate the public, how will they ever
learn. The tag soup coders certainly won't tell them!
I certainly don't think it's about designers "stroking" their egos. If
it's compliant then tell the world, the visitors but MORE
importantly.....tell the client! Make them proud to have the icon on
their site.

These icons with "AAA", "W3C", "HTML", "XHTML" on it only confuse most
users. So often in usability tests I have heard users ask me: "What does
this mean"?
