		<description>I&#039;m all for standards, but I don&#039;t think one can say that just &#039;cause his site validates he followed standards. And I don&#039;t think one can say that just because his site doesn&#039;t validate he didn&#039;t follow standards. Validation is normally a good idea, but I think the idea behind standards should be the first concern.</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Standards, UUH&#8230; What are they good for? Absolutely nothing y’all&#8230; Sorry, I’m just surprised no one has done that yet. </p>
<p>Uh oh&#8230; Elliot&#8230; your going to get the camp all stirred up again. <img src='http://www.elliotswan.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I’m going to be doing the same in a few days (but with a different group). Sounds good though man. Love it when you write this kind of stuff. In the words of my friends the Spam bots<br />

		<description>I totally agree with you. I don&#039;t think the validation tool as an implementation of semantic coding works well for its purpose. If people need to put up links to the w3 referer validation check to prove to the viewers that their site does indeed validate (which I don&#039;t think anybody cares), the validation defeats its purpose. It&#039;s more important to the web designer him/herself to maintain that level of consciousness.</description>
