Hi Varun. I'm not sure if you're looking for specific examples or techniques that you'd like to present, or a general overview of "why use standards"?
If it's the latter, I would argue that standards, when used well: * Reduce overall cost of development for cross-browser compatibility * Assist with search engine optimisation (semantic markup, cleaner HTML improve crawlability, source ordering) * Increase performance of websites and applications (through modularisation of re-usable components + reduced page weight via less code required for styling) * Increased maintainability and separation of content & visual display (easier to change look & feel across site - either tweaks or complete overhauls) * Improved accessibility for visually impaired users and mobile devices There's possibly more, but that's probably a good core set of benefits. I would also suggest that standards by themselves do not ensure these things - I've seen plenty of designers that claim to understand standards producing sub-standard markup, particularly in terms of semantic value. HTH.
