"The fact of the matter is that HTML is compliant with everything. I don't even know where this standards or compliancy thing comes into play, it's just something else to keep us chained in the cave...."
There are so many things wrong with that statement I can't even begin to comment on it. The problem with most of the standards evangelists is that they're developers, not designers. There's absolutely no reason why a site cannot be well designed and well coded.
This whole "make everything look like a blog" phase will quickly move on once more people realize that design AND code are important. Just my 2 cents.

Gabriel I believe we are actually agreeing here.
However please feel free to comment on what i wroite. I just feel that make a statement defining standards for anything (with exceptions dealing with safety etc etc), is a way to make everything bland and boring.

I think we need to realize that the standards everyone's so excited about is something that's completely behind the scenes. It should not influence design, thus it shouldn't make a site bland and boring. Is the DVD standard format more boring than VHS?
The ultimate goal of using standards would be to allow the end-user to have the designer's intended experience no matter how they view the site.
