The tracks were not all the same and so lots of money was wasted building engines and cars that would run on the various systems. In the same way that the train changed America the web is changing the world. The problem is that there is no world authority that can step in and enforce a definite standard.

It really stressed how important it is to follow web standards both for refreshing a previously created site to making sure that your clients aren't held liable for your mistakes. Quoted from Dustin Brewer's post: “Making your web site Section 508 or WAI-WCAG compliant is a major part of any commercial project, Target was recently sued because their site wasn’t Section 508 or WAI-WCAG compliant. It isn’t even difficult to make your site Section 508 or WAI-WCAG compliant…” I've definitely bookmarked his site for a must-have resource. Dustin Brewer’s post is awesome.
