The headline should have been a clue.
What initially seems to be an article supportive of Open Standards,
turns out to be a typically crass Hack Piece by the Inquirer's resident
Troll, Andrew Thomas.
If you read through the Letters section, you'll see exactly what readers

retain such a juvenile cretin on their staff, but I suppose one is bound
to slip through the net now and then.
