I think the answer is it depends upon what your purpose is.  If you are 
focusing on a "techie" market, then you may not care.  If you are 
focusing on a market which includes lots of non-techies (e.g. business 
people), then you do care.

I sometimes wish people would do some thinking about why they are 
developing a homepage before starting to write their code...
