Or they just DON'T KNOW.

I work in an organisation where our only other coder hasn't been formally 
trained, was thrown into intranet work out of necessity and has learnt 'web 
stuff' by trial and error. Her technical savvy is pretty good but limited and 
she is quite terrified by change.

Getting her to throw away her precious tables for divs is an ongoing challenge, 
but it's not a case of her 'not caring'.

We need to take great care when evangelising standards that it doesn't become a 
guilt-trip or pseudo-religious debate. Evangelise the benefits, and be patient 
- not everyone has been exposed to the paradigm-shift that is standards 
compliant design.
