What do you have against glossy books? Why should the paper stock it  
is printed on make a difference? Is saying "glossy" supposed to  
illicit some sort of prejudice against anything they contain?

Those who write how-to books are often quite knowledgeable about what  
they write, and I would expect them to read the spec. Those who look  
at other people's solutions would follow a chain of people starting at  
someone who read the spec. Most examples would show that the browser  
sniffing would only be used in limited circumstances.

Those who are bad at following good examples and choose to design  
their pages in an idiotic way will end end with idiotically designed  
pages. So what? They will end up with idiotically designed pages no  
matter what any of us do.
