hehe on that note - one way to push for standards is to change the
browser you use.  Switch to something like opera or mozilla, and when
you come across a major site that does something weird, send a polite
email to the admin.  The more people switch to browsers that are based
in standards the more these so called "penetration statistics" (which
are pretty much rubbish in terms of actual numbers) will change to
reflect this.
