Rubber Stamping is compliant with each stamp pressed on paper, but it's utility makes it limited and boring.

I don't mind browsers being innovative and adding new features, but I really wish that if they do support a particular feature that they do it in a way consistent across all browsers.

It's a lack of consistency that makes CSS layouts particularly challenging.

Innovation in page design has nothing to do with compliant html. Boring pages have no relationship to compliant markup, though gambling on browser interpretation certainly does with non-compliant pages.

If you want to keep going on about rubber stamps, there must be thousands of different rubber stamp designs out there, so even in terms of rubber stamps, innovation is rife.

LOL, perhaps, but there are millions of pages with that stamp, and they are all different..

Lemons are all different too, but they all have similar tastes.

If all you are seeing on the web is lemons, maybe it's time to go back exclusively to newspapers and old-style print. World Wide Web - who needs it?

That is tongue-in-cheek, of course. Obviously you like the WWW, because it gives you this great website, dedicated to your favorite program. It wouldn't exist without many different standards (computer, monitor, packet structure, bit alignment, power, production, quality, and many others...), and the html behind this site probably aims to meet the W3C standards as much as possible.

Best wishes,
