Yes, it is 2002.  Web pages are code.  Right click, view source.  See 
that pretty text?  It's code.  True, writing HTML by hand doesn't make 
you a programmer, it makes you a web designer.  I'm all for programs to 
write code for you.  However, they have to produce complient code.  How 
about I give you a C++ program that you type what you want to display, 
it makes some random formatting tags I made up and says "Hi, here's your 
web page".  I'll just blame all browsers for not supporting JML (Jim's 
Markup Language).  I don't understand why someone given the choice 
between making a site so only 1 browser can use it, or making a site so 
that *any* browser can use it, you take option 1.  But hey, I'm arguing 
with someone who doesn't think web pages even need valid markup, so 
what's the point of this discussion?
