Fair enough, it wasn't in the spec, but shouldn't it be by default? It's not about doing a job to the bare specs, it's about doing it right.

As I mentioned, we have many clients that come FROM other web design companies with some horror stories about how they are treated. It is the web design companys JOB (IMHO) to educate the client.

If you go to buy a car, don't you think you should be told about the dodgy engine or fan belt? Don't you think you should be told that it will break after x miles? (I know we're not talking about a site breaking per se) Just because the car moves, doesn't mean it's worthy to be sold. Even if it is cheap.
