Not so, I can't find it now but there was a poll by giga or gartner or someone like about a year ago where Web users were asked whether they would prefer the web remained open and based on open and free standards or was owned by a single company or small group of companies. The overwhelming response was that end-users wanted to see the web remain open and standards-based. That suggests that it is reasonable to talk about which of those two futures the browser helps to bring about.

But even the average user sometimes puts a small webpage together. If newssites would feature web-standards more often, these users would make better accessible websites.
