    I don't think that one day clients are just going to hit themselves on the heads and say 'Oh! Now I get standards!". You have to sell them in on the advantages of standards compliance and valid code. Tell them that forward compatibility is just as important as backward compatibility. Tell them that by shaving about 20k off of every page on the site they can cut down on bandwidth. Tell them that accessability is important and that it is in their benefit that people with disabilities have access to the information on their site.

    When all else fails, put it all in money terms. That's all clients understand anyhow.

    If we don't push it, it doesn't flourish. If they already got it we wouldn't have secrataries designing websites in Frontpage.
