*Those* are the folks who maintain the Web standards
and who get to say what is proper Web coding
and what is a steaming pile of broken code.
Their tools are readily available and they are free.
You can even select what levels of the standards you use.
There is no excuse for publishing crap code.
The reasons you encounter it are sloth and ignorance.
In some diciplines, standards are enforced
(think: National Electrical Code). In others, charlatans abound.
I thought the introduction of XHTML would improve things, but it seems only to
have introduced more ways in which typical pages can fail validation. Why
someone would specify the XHTML DocType when they have made no effort to
validate the page is quite beyond me.
We should have a site where validations (or violations) can be posted: a
wall of shame if you will. Otherwise there are no teeth to the standards.
