XML.com: Standards: Optional Features or Law? [Mar. 19, 2003]
This recent article by XML.com covers the issue of standards compliance. Currently on the web there are plenty of standards (existing and in the works), but they are not all supported and few are supported well.
The last couple paragraphs of the article ("Testing for Standards Compliance is Important") give a good overview of why standards and their accurate implementations are important.
