Hi Thomas,

It's sad too. Just in the time that I wrote my tutorial for validation
I've gotten quite a bit of e-mail about it. This isn't something
people just want, it's something people really need. Just like we need
wheelchair accessible ramps to businesses, we need applications people
with disabilities can use.

Only in the sense that it will be a huge investment of time in which
RITLabs will have to recode the HTML rendering and eventually
generation engines to keep up with out of control, rapidly evolving
standards (not to mention even conflicting ones).

There is a difference, but I also happen to agree with Tony. He'd just
beat that horse to death, so I decided on a different tact.

So is Opera, and they're doing well. They adhere to much stricter
standards when rendering HTML which means there are a lot of webpages
out there that don't render as the author intended it.
