I would tell the potential client to go to W3C and use their "HTML Validator" to check my competitions URLs for errors and to do the same for my sites. (It was self defense, okay.) The client would would freak out if they were not tech oriented after seeing error after error and I would play the "my code is W3C compliant and guaranteed to always work card" and your job will be safe withme, but will it be safe with them? That is the only thing these "rogues" or "wankers" can't compete with on a demonstrable level is Being so thorough that a mystic organization called W3C likes your code better. The client feels safe and it worked for me.
