To the point of my career: This is why I see failure where others might see a certain success despite my ridiculous personal traumas. WE DID NOT WIN. THERE ARE NO WEB STANDARDS. THERE NEVER WERE. THEY LIED. Okay, I get emotional. :) How Robert stays in the fight? I'm in awe, tbh.

@mholzschlag I can鈥檛 believe that we are even having this discussion after the fight was won so many years ago. I thought that this was a dead issue. You write for the web, you write for multiple browsers.

You are SO RIGHT there 鈽癸笍. Almost nobody cares about standards anymore. Nobody cares about valid markup. Ppl butch css until it's a bloody mess and later say it's broken, lets use js to fix it.

I don鈥檛 think you can say you lost either though. Even just willing the _idea_ of web standards was, in my humble opinion, a pretty major achievement!

For awhile, I would update my stuff every time there was a new XHTML version in strict and validate it via the W3C. After they resurrected HTML, didn't seem much point anymore. From that point on, everyone did what they wanted to again.
