The question is whether, in making strawberry jam, one can adapt an otherwise effective blender to also remove the seeds, as opposed to spending money on training (or hiring additional personnel) to hand-remove said seeds. In our love of good, valid, accessible HTML we can either let browser manufacturers think that we accept (prefer?) the status quo or we can insist that accessibility and validation be inherent in the output of our tools. Professional Web page designers are not going to make a browser manufacturer an overnight multimillionaire; the business world might. The average businessperson simply does not have the luxury (and love) of playing with HTML until it is valid and accessible.
