It's a good article, but I guess that anyone who is 1) moderately geeky and 
2) has to do IT (and particularly Internet) support for non-geek family 
members/friends/colleagues had already figured this out a long time ago...

I remember showing my images in 1997 at the INRIA (French national institute 
for research in computer science). INRIA had always been involved with W3C 
and the nice folks I met there really pushed hard for Web standards. 
Particularly, they had (and still have) a browser named Amaya, which was 
supposedly 100% W3C standard-compliant. When I came home, I downloaded it 
and saw that my website, which was 100% Netscape-compatible, was largely 
unreadable (and butt-ugly) with Amaya and would have required a complete 
redesign, which of course would have broken some  Netscape-only features 
that everybody (but the W3C folks) loved at that time and then alienated 
most of the visitors. Needless to say, I didn't redesign the site ;)
