would hide a stain on your wall

when the thecssweblog wrote this week of a poster that "conveys the importance of web standards visually" i saw myself printing several out and sticking them all over my work's office, but...

i don't want to sound awful, but does anyone else see any kind of rhyme or reason in taking the time out to create something like the standards in a nutshell" poster? i'm sure natalie jost is a very nice person, and her site is very nice too, but c'mon. thecssweblog states that it "may be the key in driving home the point to those who have seemed unable or unwilling to grasp the concept". how exactly does it do that? imagine taking that into your next project pitch, and saying "you really should consider us because all our sites are developed with web standards in mind, observe...", and holding your "standards in a nutshell" poster up.

again, i really don't want to sound awful, but at least just present it as a quirky, humorous little poster to stick on your wall rather than "how to best explain web standards to someone unfamiliar" or something that "conveys the importance of web standards visually" (thecssweblog, not natalie).

if only zeldman had thought of this, 'designing with web standards' could have been a flyer.
