Webdesigners gone mad

Am I the only one here thinking web designers are taking themselves way too serious?
It seems like they are trying to make their specialization more than it really is.
Whining about proper naming of ID's and CLASS's and semantic web development.
None of these concepts are new and most of the new standards being developed for HTML/CSS/etc are just straight out bullshit.
There's dozens of DOCTYPE's no one will ever use and developers get a hard on when their page validates XHTML 1.0 Strict.
Take google for example.. okay this might not be the hardest site in the world but it refuses to validate and infact doesn't even has a fucking DOCTYPE set.
The most visited page in the world does NOT validate, and who cares? no one, because it works.

Oh and I know HTML/CSS is not programming, this just seemed like the right board to dump my frustrations.
Enjoy.

This is how we should ration out IPv4 adresses. You want one, you can kill someone and claim theirs.
I'm picturing an anarchistic future where gangs of nerds roam through the suburbs on their segways, with the leader proudly wearing maybe as many as a dozen IP addresses on a string around his neck.
