If you do feel strongly about this, then offer your help at the Web Standards Project: http://www.webstandards.org/ In particular, if you want to get internet design companies (and others) to stop 'bastardising the net', you may wish to join one of the Outreach Committees: http://www.webstandards.org/ac.html#outreach For various political reasons, the W3C is itself unable to campaign for authors (of both browsers and web pages) to follow standards -- mainly because the members of the W3C *are* the browser makers. The Web Standards Project (the WaSP) has no such political problems. (On the other hand, the WaSP is not a standards making body, that is the role of the W3C). -- Ian Hickson
