Ann, I don't think it's purposeful. I think it's ignorance and
incompetence. I think the vast majority of "professional web
designers" don't even know what the standards are, what they do,
how to use them, where to find them, or why they're good.
These people are simply unaware that the HTML they are writing
is seriously broken. They figure that if it works on the handful
of browsers they have on their computers, then it "works."
These people are sorely mistaken and need our help.
