Maybe browsers should artifically delay the rendering of pages in the quirks-mode to create incentive for website creators to use proper formats/techniques.

I can imagine the author had their fun, I also had fun reading the article, but I don't think this is leading to an accessible internet.

Interesting idea, but Google has a dominant position in both the browser space and the search-engine space. They can punish such pages in the Google search rankings, and this avoids the obvious retort of Why are you deliberately making my browser worse?
