<rant type="unfocussed rambling"> Why is that relevant? Heck, it's almost like we're going back to the old "how many % of users still run at 800x600...lamers" We know it's 7% ? Do we ? Lies, statistics and lies...it always comes down to *your* particular audience. Yes, we have to give up a level of control on how our pages are presented (if you want pixel perfect, go back to print, or use flash/PDF/etc), but we gain flexible delivery based on user preferences. We're not forcing our visual sensibilities onto users that don't want them (e.g. those surfing with a simple text browsers couldn't give a damn about lines and lines of markup relating to presentation, or stylesheets). However, that's obviously *not* the same as saying that we should therefore not care about presentation at all. </rant> P ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help *****************************************************
