Actually I'm surprised at what can be accomplished in email these days, but in a negative way (sorry to be too pessimistic).

In the browser I already got my peace of mind back when it comes to cross-browser compatibility, because I can design a website in the browser of my choice, and when I test in other browsers, most of times there are no issues, or the issues are too minimal to get upset by having to fix them.

It's cool to have a place with an active community where someone can find tools, resources, workarounds, etc., but that is just a way to alleviate the problem.

An e-mail standard proposal[1] already exists, but providers (especially Google) doesn't seem too motivated to adhere to that standard :/...
