Great, just what I need, more standards to deal with that the browser manufacturers will implement inconsistently. *groaning, writhing on floor in agony*

Yeah, it’s a cool idea, but new standards tend to be implemented at a snail’s pace and in a very haphazard manner. Though things have gotten better in recent years (despite IE6’s refusal to die), web design & development is already nightmarishly complex.

I’m not talking about personal/hobby sites or one-off independently owned blogs, I’m talking about sites where corporate clients expect things to actually work without being buggy and to render with consistency across platforms.

Then add in web applications and users who want to connect to social networking and/or the cloud and… *sobbing, cursing, headdesk, headdesk*
