I think the history of the web all the way up through now proves quite 
well that web devs *will never* standardize on any sort of "proper way 
to do things" unless some outside factor forces it.

Uhh...not these days. These days they mostly all love their gigantic 
one-inch fonts. Half the websites I visit, I have to zoom *out* just to 
make reading it reasonably comfortable.

(Meh, and then on mobile I have to zoom waaay in before attempting to 
click on any links, because mobile device manufacturers seem to think my 
fingers are every bit as slender and precise as a resistive or active 
stylus. Seriously, when my contract's up I'm moving to a Galaxy Note. F* 
this Sh* ;) )
