Actually, the standards dictate the browsers. All browser developers are using W3C standards as the foundation for their browsers. You'll notice that the latest verisons of Netscape, IE, and Mozilla are render VERY similarly. It's because they are all using the exact same W3C standards for HTML, XHTML, XML, CSS, etc.
John, I agree with you that standards right now aren't much vital to SEO and marketing issues. I'm just trying to communicate that complying to these standards will become more and more important, and people need to realize that. We can't completely disregard them and expect to be taken seriously as web developers.
