Google uses junky HTML

You are welcome to write a page that works in all browsers using whatever junky code you want.  In the meantime, while you are trying to debug what has gone wrong in 25 out of the 300 browsers you test for, I am writing 20000 standards-based scalable enterprise best practises pages per second that work in all browsers that support HTML 4.01.
