Now if only there were a way for W3C to forbid you from calling your site a www-site unless all the content was W3C standards-compliant, the situation would have been quite different; you would have to call it msie.whatever instead of www. It would have also been nice if the W3C could force you to include a warning on your site if it includes non-compliant HTML content, and a warning about sugegsting that people download non-compliant browsers: msie.msn.com: "This site uses HTML in a way not compliant with the standards set by its designers. Standards-compliant browsers may not display the contents of this site in the manner which the site owners intended. For this purpose, the site owners suggest you downgrade to a non-compliant browser, which may not function with standards-compliant material and is available only for two families of proprietary operating systems; click on the link below to download." If only it could be done, the community that invented the standards Microsoft are perverting and abusing could give them a healthy taste of their own medicine.
