I have to object to this pretty strongly. What premises do you have
for this argument? It seems to me that the http and (at least
recently) xhtml specifications have been pretty rigorous. That rigour
is actually one of the things many people who want to "get 'er done"
complain about.
(Note, however, that I'm firmly in the camp that says you can write
lousy code in any language.)
