It’s back on the cards again, or maybe it never really went away. The need for certification of professionals in the web industry as a measurement that they are in fact compliant with using web standards in all there various variations of implementations. Late 2006 it was on the table, remember Mark Boulton had a go, and Richard Rutter had to comment on that, as you do. Well now PPK has put it all back on to the table with his proposal for the Guild of Front-End Programmers. There are some good points raised, but in the most part people are getting stuck on the detail, the micro level of the scheme, when there seems to be little concern for the macro level.
