Hi That's a common enough response when dealing with standards based implementations from companies that either: * do know and don't care * don't know and are scared/worried * do know, do care but don't have the resources * do know but implementation would have internal political implications (I've experienced this a few times)
It's a common enough path, to paraphrase some other quotes I've seen around: 1. I don't want or need to know 2. What's this ? 3. Could be useful... 4. Let's implement it.. 5. Wow, that was easy. 6. Advocate... Personally, I wouldn't be too concerned about responses like that - especially given the two code examples are easily eliminated or placed elsewhere to be non obstrusive. Anyone who uses border="0" then complains that it is too difficult to change is either too lazy or shouldn't be doing web development, or both. As for W3C standards not being widely implemented and other generalisations - bit of a throwaway line to get you to go away.
