Have you ever tried to get google/yahoo/cnn html code to "validate"?!
I have said here MANY times that
there is a great number of people trying to pass themselves off
as qualified Web developers who have no clue what they are doing.
Large corporations do not have immunity from the scourge.
There is no agreement on the meaning of "real".
Of course there is.
Just because Ebonics was pushed as legit by misguided people
doesn't mean there isn't a standard for spoken and written English.
W3C==WorldWide Web Consortium.
*Those* are the folks who maintain the Web standards
and who get to say what is proper Web coding
and what is a steaming pile of broken code.
Their tools are readily available and they are free.
You can even select what levels of the standards you use.
There is no excuse for publishing crap code.
The reasons you encounter it are sloth and ignorance.
In some diciplines, standards are enforced
(think: National Electrical Code). In others, charlatans abound.
Well said. Of course there are two standards, the other is "works with IE"
regardless. Someone mentioned a site which snooped browser and excluded other
browsers, because "people keep complaining about my HTML." Microsoft is a
$tandard to some people.
