Wouldn it be easier to get the browser makers to adhere to standards than to get all web pages to make their pages viewable with any browser?
I believe that getting browser makers to adhere to standards is a great idea, and I fully support the efforts to do that, and I don’t intend to try to supplant those efforts with my campaign. However, I believe that a key component in these efforts is to reduce the incentive the browser makers have to continue to ignore standards. The best way I know of to do that is to design sites which are standards compliant and non-browser specific. As long as the browser makers can get the web designers to do their dirty marketing work for them, they don’t have much reason to support standards efforts. Thus making pages viewable in any browser and encouraging others to do so makes it more likely browsers make the effort to support standards. Additionally, even if Netscape and Microsoft fully implemented standards, there are still many people who do not use those browsers or who will be using older versions. HTML is designed to be degradable so that web designers do not have to leave people behind
