Right, because the way they were doing it before, back home, didn't suck 
enough to make it worth the leap.

The English, on the other hand, fucking hated it back home and were prepared 
to put up with all manner of nonsense to make a break from it.

I can certainly see some analogous situations with markup...  Such is 
humanity.
