Jon,

First, it's not like these standards are that much of a burden!  In 
fact, more than anything, they're great indications that whoever's 
putting your site together knows what they're doing.  Using standards 
like these, both web and accessibility, ensures that you're not going to 
get a flood of complaints saying your website doesn't work in their browser.

If we were talking bricks-and-mortar here, this would count as insurance 
and part of the building code.
