Jeffrey Zeldman says ALA is slowly changing course to reflect a maturing understanding of web standards in the marketplace.

Web standards are in our DNA and will always be a core part of our editorial focus. Standards fans, never fear. We will not abandon our post. But since late 2005, we have consciously begun steering ALA back to its earliest roots as a magazine for all people who make websites—writers, architects, strategists, researchers, and yes, even marketers and clients as well as designers and developers. This means that, along with issues that focus on new methods and subtleties of markup and layout, we will also publish issues that discuss practical and sometimes theoretical aspects of user experience design, from the implications of ubiquitous computing to keeping communities civil.

Bravo! 3 cheers for architects; 3 cheers for developers; 3 cheers for strategists.

That makes 9 cheers from people like me – an architect/developer/strategist.

What about you? Are you adjusting your web standards strategy during the browser battles of 2008? How are you maturing your business? Are your branches growing stronger, as your roots grow deeper?  Are you growing old gracefully, like the old oak tree?
