Tom, you have a living to earn, and I am sure that many will sympathise with your wish to keep your clients happy by fiddling and faffing with the HTML and CSS until it render perfectly in every so-called smart'phone, tablet, and whatever the next generation of chip-based must haves will be called. But do you not also feel that by so doing, you are making life easier for the manufacturer's at the expense of your own time, and everybody else's ? All the while developers such as your good self are prepared to pander to and mollycoddle half-baked immature technology, there is no pressure at all on the manufacturers to get their acts together and design their toys so that they are standards-compliant. Would we (the HTML/CSS authoring community) not do far better to stand together and to say to the manufacturers "We code to W3C standards; if your toys can't render it properly, employ /real/ programmers and get them fixed" ?
