If you want to see chaos, take a bunch of "typical" web developers
(they code using 3.2 markup and think that <font> is still a "quick
shortcut"). When they're trying to develop for mobile devices that
start being fussy about valid markup, buy them a copy of CSE.
Now stand back and watch them try and dis-entangle real issues of real
validity from the usual "lint" that's reported by CSE. They'll not
_understand_ what's going on, which means they can't progress beyond
this.
If you're a WYSIWYG FrontPlague jockey whose only aspiration is to one
day acquire a copy of Dreamweevil, then CSE is probably just what
you're looking for. It's not what you need, but it's what you _think_
you need. And that's why most web design is still so flakey.
