I make no reference to what the market demands - but what is possible and
appropriate using html. There is nothing stopping you from producing web-pages
produced entirely of high quality graphics (including text), and they will
look the same on all browsers - but don't pretend that they are appropriate
for public consumption. If a web-designer doesn't show his clients the
limitations - and possibilities - of web sites then they are prostituting
their 'profession'.

You can show them till you are blue in te face., They somply won;t
listen, and will take their work to someone who CAN produce more or less
the same look and feel and positioning acrosos half a doezn browseres.

the point is there may be an HTML standard, but there is no browser
standard.

Nothing says that a single line of (perfectly formed) HTML has to be
displayed as a wrapped column of text, or a single line with a scroll
bar along the bottom.

In practice Grunff is right and you are wrong. You would either put it
in a defined width table, box, or use explicit line breaks to get it to
display consistently.
