Check out my follow-up to "The Rise of the User-Agent Interface (#UAI)"

This time consider the Q:
"I can't do this alone & don't trust tech companies to do it all. Anyone standardizing this?"

I've got good news — short answer is yes!

With the rise of Flash and CSS in 1997, three web design philosophies emerged. David Siegel advocated for 'hacks', Jakob Nielsen kept it simple, while Jeffrey Zeldman combined flair with usability.
