I agree. Specifically from the perspective of large internal corporate nets
relying on Web technology, diverging "improvements" gives a very different
set of +/- then people thinking of external nets. Internally there's
potentially much more need for a standard set of markup, since there's also
more emphasis on global support. It would be nice to run well tamed
(if we can believe there's such a beast) robots that can catch problems and
suggest solutions within a (seemingly) limited set of pages, while giving
users the flexibility to do what they want/need within the constraints
of the language. It also provides some support capability from the
perspective
of understanding particular problems and limitations of browsers when
questions come up.

There is no substitute for good manners, except, perhaps, fast
reflexes.
