If you want to drive the point home further, then take another look at Jahn Rentmeister's commentary from 8 years ago, "<A HREF="http://www.jahns-home.de/rentmei/html/opti.html" title="jahns-home.de">This page optimized for<nobr> <wbr></nobr>..."
- arguing with customers</a jahns-home.de>"
Myself, I've made my sites conform to HTML4 + CSS since 1997 and they still look good, most have improved since browsers provide better CSS support these days.
Another way to look at the problem is to ask these fools, "how would you like to increase your potential market by 5 - 20 % ?" Yes? Then support standards (i.e. <A HREF="http://www.w3.org/TR/html401" title="w3.org">HTML</a w3.org> for structure and <A HREF="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2" title="w3.org">CSS</a w3.org> for layout/formatting) and <A HREF="http://validator.w3.org/" title="w3.org">validate your pages</a w3.org>. Not only will they reach more people now, but will continue to do so for longer into the future.
