Re: [MACCAWS] W3C members and invalid markup

Oi -

That is disheartening.  Well, all the more reason to be doing what we're

As one of my managers said to me once, "We could use your spiffy code, but
why would I want to lock out even one user and require someone with a
master's degree to mantain my site?"  I know the arguments, but after I
thought about it for a while, I saw his point too.
