The analogy is quite simple...
If there weren't codes to set guidelines for best practices when
constructing homes, what kind of homes would most people have?
People have been building sites for years now and have no idea that
guidelines even exist, let alone take steps to meet them and be "up to
code".
That's the point. That's why they want to have someone build a site for
them that has a clue about this stuff. The day WILL come when there is
a governing body over the net. There WAS a day when housing codes DID
NOT exist and were being worked on and accepted.
Hopefully that clarifies. At least it works on Realtors....

You CAN launch a site without passing code, but there are groups that
are working together to enforce the integrity of the code.
And which groups would those be? And what authority do they have over
the site? Here's where the analogy may well fall apart, rather than
have the desired impact...
