But that's like saying since most people use proprietary software, why should
we be different and do the right thing.
Web standards will only get more important in the future as there will be new
hardware and software platforms to browse the web. I'm sick and tired of the
"best viewed with Internet Explorer 6.0 in 1024x768" banners...
W3C might be slow to come up with the standards but they're mostly doing a
good job. It's not easy to get these things right. And without standards it
will be dark ages again.
