Banking and government web sites are the *worst* offenders.  They make
extremely heavy use of all the bad practices they can find.  And you
can't just say "I won't use this web site", because it's your *bank*
or your *government*.

(Yes, in theory, you could find a different bank, but the other bank's
web site is just going to be the same.)
