I've seen quite a few beautifully done standards-based CSS/XHTML sites. Really georgious stuff. Well designed, and well styled.
I think Zeldman is brilliant. He's done for the web what Mr. Davis did for Flash (and Macromedia). He's reformed the web like no one else. Those of you who don't know of him should really read up on the guy. I've read Zeldman's book myself and think it's really brilliant.
I just don't care for Zeldman's visual design asthethic. I find his use of typography obtrusive and difficult to read, and his general design bland and somewhat pretentious.
I still read his blog every day, though.
So let me clarify:
Zeldman the Person = :)
Zeldman the Web Developer = :)
Zeldman the Web Designer = :(BTW, I personally despise 2adanced as well :)
