irrelevant analogy. you are trying to compare changing a "standard" way of doing something with altering those standards to your design.
a car is built in a standardized way. there are rules and engineering obligations that designers must adhere to, there for, it would compare closer to implementing standards in web design than against it.
but you are correct in the point about designing for a clients clients...but again...once you make the transition into standards, then all sites will work seamlessly with the technology.
web standards is more than designing some cheesy web site. it deals with alternative display methods...that is why it's called a "standard." the underlying technology is to allow properlly designed sites to work with things like WAP, Firmware/Hardware/Software, etc...
once your clients understand, they're clients will understand. we do it all the time with minimal headache.
