Yes. I'm sure that webmasters are rushing to comply with HTML 4.01. Keep
in mind that most non-techy websites are still seeing far greater than
90% of their visitors using IE, and nearly all of the rest using
Mozilla-based browsers like Firefox or Netscape.

Since it reached a peak in March 2003, IE's share of the browser
market has steadily declined. Refsnes Data (Norway) indicates a
decline from 88.0% at the peak to 74.1% this month, meaining more
than 25% of Web surfers use browsers other than IE. Other surveys
indicate a larger market share for IE but also confirm the
decline.

I recently logged the hits on my own Web site for 48 hours. 14%
were non-IE. 86% (definitely NOT "far greater than 90%") were IE.

And, yes, I do see Web pages that are W3C compliant.

I use Mozilla as my Web browser because I want a browser that
complies with Web standards. See http://www.mozilla.org/.
