Comment Re:Designer's perspective (Score 1) 709
I agree, being a semi-professional myself.
My first reaction was "Holy crap, this is crazy!" But then I thought about it, and realised that this is exactly what we want-having websites designed to a certain standard to ensure they can be used the way they're meant to be.
The problem as I see it is not that we're enforcing standards, it's that the vast majority of designers will design sites in either blissful ignorance of or sheer disdain for the standards required. I mean how many designers use correct HTML and CSS in the first place? Or even compensate for different browsers with the box hack?
