This idea - that of standards compliance, whatever the flavor - is 
perhaps one of the biggest arguments against rolling your own user 
interface.  Even among the frameworks you have wide variations.  Of all 
of them, only Dojo (AFAIK) supports both i18n and a11y out of the box 
(that's internationalization and accessibility to us green screeners).
