For most websites, I'd probably agree with you, but if someone doesn't push
for standards-based HTML, we'll be stuck with the status quo, which really
sucks.

persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress

Normally, I would agree with you, but after all, this is "webstandards.org".
Their entire reason for being is ... web standards! If they were to make
compromises to deal with IE deficiencies, that wouldn't say very much for
them, now would it?
