Considering that reality is abusing HTML into a plethora of device dependant visual effects, not bothering with validation and semantic value-add - yes there is a gap between W3C and that reality. Has there every been a point where that gap didn't exist? If it is widening then there are two possible scenarios: 1.) The W3c doesn't understand what the World Wide Web offers to its users 2.) Website owners don't see the global advantages being offered. > If yes, what can W3C evangelists do about it? Focus on why its to the visitor's - thus indirectly the website owner's - benefit to adopt recommendations as a starting point. Its a catch-22 really, we need lots of valid and semantically based content to demonstrate the global-scale usefulness of it, but people want to see the benefits before making their content semantically useful.
