Uniformity tends to be a good thing the majority of the time, and that can be said no matter what it is we’re talking about.

This is something that has been the norm for well over 20 years now, and while it’s not a deal breaker to have this happen there would be something to say for a more consistent web standard. Here at 4GoodHosting we are like any Canadian web hosting provider who can see the appeal of that based on simple visual comfort levels. Even if we are not aware of it there is a calming and soothing part of seeing what we expect to see each time, and we can also understand that if there is any level of new exploration required because a page is displaying / behaving differently then that is definitely undesirable too. So the reason that we’re making this newsworthy is because there is a new 4-way effort underway to establish a more consistent and better web standard.
