    I know what you mean... I had a similar experience - I designed a web page and coded it in valid XHTML. In it there was a list with markup like this:

    <ul>
    <li>List item 1 here</li>
    <li>List item 2 here</li>
    </ul>

    Once complete, handed the work over to the developer to implement and guess what came out:

    <table>
    <tr><td><li>List item 1 here</li></td></tr>
    <tr><td><li>List item 2 here</li></td></tr>
    </table>

    I was like wtf?! and very nearly lost it, as it broke the CSS for it, made the code invalid and also made it impossible to style/tweak down the track. I thought this was pretty basic stuff and the developer should have known this... To date it still hasn't been fixed despite raising the flag on it.
