Yes I definitely agree with you. Any technical profession, I would  
almost be in favor of removing technical ;), needs for a professional  
to stay aware of the evolution, the pros and cons, and to ensure a  
certain stability.

The thing which is the most difficult in this type of discussion is  
how to not sound an old patronizing Cow when most of the people  
involved in the Web business are still young and they don't think the  
same way.
I have met often when I was working in Web agencies, many people who  
thought that because they knew HTML 3.2 and table layout, they were  
done.

How to invite people to continue to learn?
Make it fun? Not easy all the time ;)
