Joel speaks on web standards

There are only a few technology writers that can really explain stuff in non-technical terms, teach you something and be funny at the same time. Joel Spolsky is one of these people. He has written an article on web standards that is really worth the time if you care about the subject. I really like the quote at the end: "the idealists are 100% right in principle and, ..., the pragmatists are right in practice."
