Wow. Isn't one of the arguments for web standards that "getting it wrong
will cost you"? Obviously not enough in your estimation. I do believe
that standards and accessibility are beneficial but that's a question
that each individual, designer and business should decide for
themselves. No one has the right to force them to conform [1]. In my
opinion such "we know what's good for you" arrogance only harms the
standards movement.
