After reading your explanation I still don't think the huge amount of non-semantic code is justified. Sure you're site might work perfectly in Internet Explorer 3 running on Windows 95 with a Pentium 200 Mhz and a 14.4 kbps modem, but does anybody care? Why burden search engine bots and normal users with cruft that shouldn't have got past the 90s?
So, you're saying every page should be rewritten every time technology changes? How often/by what yardsticks or landmark changes does one decide? Who's going to pay for the time required? Why do browsers maintain backward compatibility?
"Normal" users don't use most of Georg's such pages. Bots are bots; they lie in beds of their own making. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
