This is just an ignorant response. The history of the internet is littered with pragmatic solutions to standard vs. non-standard approaches for exactly these reasons. See: <image>, Referer header, the HTML standard as a whole.

By the way, if your standard contradicts a popular methodology, it's probably a bad standard.

You can't assume a methodology is good just because it's popular. That's how you get cargo cults.

But if a methodology violates the standards, it's almost certainly bad.
