Re: web site programming.

For those interested in vigorously promoting web standards, there are 
activist groups, such as the Web Standard Project (WaSP), which might 
be a good fit:

http://www.webstandards.org/

WaSP is organized into different Task Forces that lobby Adobe, 
Microsoft, etc. They publish assessments of a few tools, etc.

Note: I'm not a member of WaSP, but I've followed their campaigns, 
and they seem to have had a positive influence on browsers, tools and 
designers.
