OK, I'm not going to spend my day arguing for shockwave, or against it.  If
you want to read the site, read it.  If not, don't.  Either way, I agree
that I would like to see the two initiatives working a little closer
together.

That's marketing folks for ya.  Can't hold that against what the
NAP can offer.

Actually, you can.

If the website doesn't conform to reasonable standards, then either
the company doesn't have technically competant people, or else they
aren't able to influence the public website. Either way, I'd
certainly steer a wide berth around any such company.

It's within the bounds of possibility that the company really has
technically competant people, who don't for whatever reason care
about the public presence of their company on the net, but could fix
it if they bothered. Even that fantasy scenario doesn't make me want
to do business with them.
