A Standardista's Alphabet and Intro to ALA

I caught an entertaining read at A List Apart. It's a list of web-standards-related words from A to Z. It's written informatively, but with light-hearted sarcasm and wit for those readers all too familiar with the topics covered...Something I realized while reading it-- why is it an alt "tag?" I'd say I straddle the line between the Lesser Standardista and Standistus argumentatavum maximus. While I'm on the subject they posted a great article highlighting the best of their articles, in both utility and fame. It's sort of a 'Get to know ALA' article.
