This could maybe include a few words on why standards in general matter
at all. (for example even the big company that gave us Internet
Explorer 6 realizes that it hurts themselves to not follow html
standard in the long run.)
I think this is a topic that people need to hear. Why standards are
good and why its a bad idea to let one implementation rule them all and
be the "standard" that all other implementations should mimic.
Imagine if all browsers should follow the IE 6 implementation of
html/css. At that time it maybe looked like a good idea to use all the
extra features to have your product compete with those who aimed for
"lowest common denominator" feature set - but today most people that
depends on a browser realize that was a bad idea in the long run.
