I disagree. "Crappy" can describe something that uses valid HTML, but
uses it in ways that will not always work as the creator was led to
believe (for example, using the definition tag to indent a paragraph...
works on some browsers, not on others, since browsers can display text
with that tag different ways while still following the standard).
"Crappy" can describe tag bloat such as adding a non-breaking space when
importing text that has two spaces after each period just to make sure
that extra space displays, or putting <bold> tags before and after every
sentence in a bold paragraph when all that's needed is one at the
beginning of the paragraph and one at the end.

So, using this logic, a sentence written using standard grammar and
sentence structure could never be considered crappy? Doesn't work that
way in my world. Find a different argument. :-)
