Well, at the risk of sounding like a stand-up comedian, there's three kinds of people in this world, those who can count, and those who can't .. rimshot

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week, be sure to tip your waitresses, try the veal .. rimshot

But seriously .. that kind of cavalier approach to standards is a kind of 'black and white' thing for me. Either you conform to the standard or you don't.

Me, I love it when the HTML Validator tells me a page that I've programmed comes out squeaky clean. But then, back in the 80's I was a C developer who wasn't happy until my code was properly indented, and also compiled and linted cleanly. That's just my style.

Your style sounds more like 'patch it up, close enough' to me. This is not a personal attack -- I don't know you, so it couldn't be -- it's just an observation that you and I appear to have differing standards in quality.
