They're making a point, so they've taken it to the limit. It is TOTALLY
possible to create a standards compliant site that looks pretty good in
older browsers.

Don't confuse the bleeding edge with the work people on this list and
elsewhere do every day, great sites that meet the needs of as many people as
possible and are still standards compliant.

But if my user is using a version 3 or an early 4 browser, the "compliant"
code doesn't work anyway! It's what everyone on this list has been talking
about for the past few days with ALA: looks great with it's compliant (sort
of) CSS in version 4 or higher and looks like total doggie chow for
everything/everyone else!
