Well, standards-compliant != minimalist. You can have plenty of DHTML/JS bells and whistles while still being standards compliant.Another point is that users would like more minimalistic and standards-compliant sites better than sites with a lot of bandwidth-overloading, DHTML/JS, useless bells and whistells madness. Making your site basic and portable will eventually make it much more popular, even among MSIE users.
For example:
http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/index.html
http://www.dhtmlcentral.com/script/?m=14
http://www.webstandards.org/learn/resources/dom/
And this the whole point: They do not need to make their site "ugly" or give up all the bells whistles in order to make their site work with all standard compliant browsers. IMO, having less bells and whistles is a different battle, and fighting it here might do more harm then good (as it might seem like a too radical change for site owners).
