None of those. I just mentioned that I was unable to convice my
friend to change his ways and his strongest reason not to was his
(fairly complicated) site that worked just fine in a lot of browsers
which he built without jumping through any of the hoops I go through
trying to get a complicated layout to work in as many browsers.
I'm all for standards and everything else this list is about, but I
do feel we might be spending a lot of time preparing for a "State
Dinner" when what we are really going to attend is a "come-as-you-
are" BBQ in the backyard.

2. A friend just got back into the web design game after a long time
away. He sent me his site: pure HTML 2.0, no doctype lots of tables
and the usual tag soup.
I mentioned to him that things had changed and he should "get with"
the modern way of doing things. To his various questions as to why, I
gave all the right answers, but in the end he said if it works, why
change? I viewed his site in all my various MAC & WIN browsers, it
worked just fine in all of them.
Are you asking for the benefits of standards-based design or the ROI
of it? It's on like 1000000 trillions of documents and books written
since 2001. Give him a Zeldman or Cederholm book for Christmas :-)
