Completely true. That's why I think we should change strategy.
The emphasis should be on:
- The web team you hired doesn't follow web standards.
- Many clients (e.g: people with other IE versions)
may be affected.
- You wouldn't know it (it looks ok on your computer).
- It would reflect badly on your company public image.
Note that I specifically didn't mention Mozilla/Linux etc. This
should only be discussed with the web team themselves after
the management *instructed* them to be compliant.
One way to educate the bosses is to make them aware to w3c
certification logos. Every complaint should be accompanied
with a high profile site that have this logo (as an example
and motivation). This is a visual cue that non-techie boss
may easily understand and remember (they just LOVE certifications :-)
