standards is of course a good thing, but not all browsers follow standards, they certainly did not several years ago in anyway shape or form, and that is really the time period we are talking about in this thread, not the present. It you write using standards now then the chances of your app being being future proof are pretty high as even Microsoft have bowed down, and these days you do not need to use browser specific features when you have JQuery.
