Hey Jackie
I agree with you and think maybe I just didn't explain myself properly.

Could not agree more!
End of the day validating a site is the least of you worries, unless that
is what the client overall wants.
To be honests i wouldnt even charge extra for a valid site, as in my eyes
any true web developer should make sure it validates anyway, as it shows

No, as most users have full high color resolutions.
But if your website is primarily visiited by computers that cant reach high
color levels, then yeah. but otherwise its accessability shoshing over with

reason.

I would say you shouldn't ignore the issue, but you don't need to limit
yourself either. If a site doesn't look as good under the limited
spectrum, so what. If, however, it looks hideous, then maybe it's worth
making

The only workaround I can think of is to set the background-color for

An interesting article by Keith Robinson about the real world benefits

Title: Ten Questions for whomever
With the WSG "Ten Questions for Whomever" thing, do you have to ask to be intervied or does someone ask you if you can be interviewed?
Hi Sean,
I have been interviewing a range of high profile web developers who have
information that could be of value to WSG members. In each case, I have
approached people, they have not approached me.
I wanted to keep the interviews to 10 questions as I generally do not like
reading interviews
AFAIK You have to be a big player in web standards, there has also been
some correlation between interviewees and people at the Web Essentials
seminar series later this year which is fair enough.

Hello Amit,
I'm sort of confused by your question. Do you mean something that tests your
code for validation according to the doctype? If you are looking for
something like that, the WC3 Validator is great.
Or do you mean software? Like TopStyle / Dreamweaver etc?
