 I answered a post from someone recently who was having problems with
background sounds in IE and NN.  I replied, telling them how to make it work
with both.  They emailed me back, thanking me for my advice, but that it
wasn't HTML 4.0 Strict compliant, so they were going to ask again hoping for a
better response!  LOL  I emailed back telling them that I was under the
impression that they wanted it to work, not that they wanted it to
validate...and told them how to make it validate, making sure they knew that
it wouldn't work in NN & IE!  FDLOL

W3C ...I suppose has its place........however as you pointed out the 2 major
browsers will set their own standard no matter what W3C does ;-)
personally I would rather just have the site work. If W3C wants to set the
standard for validation ...perhaps they should take their que from the major
market players.............whomever they happen to be.  I just don't see the
need(IMO) to design a site ...have it work in the major browsers, then find
out it doesn't "validate" and spen as much time beating my head against a wall
trying to validate it, as I did designing it 
Dats my 2 bits ;-)
