Change what “IE6 support” means
“Occasionally (very occasionally) you come across an
author who makes you think, ‘This guy is smart! And he makes
me feel smarter, because now I finally understand this
concept.’” — Steve Krug, author of Don’t
Make Me Think and Rocket Surgery Made Easy
“A web designer without a copy of Designing with Web
Standards is like a carpenter without a level. With this third
edition, Zeldman continues to be the voice of clarity; explaining
the complex in plain English for the rest of us.” — Dan
Cederholm, author, Bulletproof Web Design and Handcrafted CSS
“Jeffrey Zeldman sits somewhere between ‘guru’
and ‘god’ in this industry—and manages to fold
wisdom and wit into a tale about WHAT web standards are, HOW
standards-based coding works, and WHY we should care.”
— Kelly Goto, author, Web ReDesign 2.0: Workflow that
Works
“Some books are meant to be read. Designing with Web
Standards is even more: intended to be highlighted, dogeared,
bookmarked, shared, passed around, and evangelized, it goes beyond
reading to revolution.” — Liz Danzico, Chair, MFA
Interaction Design, School of Visual Arts

A relatively weighty book but a surprisingly entertaining read and, just in case you were still in any doubt, it does at great job of explaining why web standards matter.
