The leader of the HTML activity for W3C says that it is easy for builders of
Web Sites to make all browsers work well.  Just follow the standards.
 
I read this and sent the author a note on how difficult it might be to just
follow standards, and make it work in the real world.  Anybody else have
reactions to this article in light of our discussions here?  Does he have
the right answer?
