Great!
Wikipedia's pioneering extensive usage of Unicode was noticed by Unicode.
Wikipedia's consistent usage of IPA was noticed by Prof. Asher Laufer,
a phonetics researcher from HUJI. He gave it as an example of the fact
that the world is moving from diverse and incompatible phonetic
transcriptions to IPA in the introductory university phonology
textbook that he recently released.
I have seen a few articles about web design and accessibility giving
Wikipedia as an example of a site that is relatively committed to the
W3C standards.
There are more example of this kind. And now OGG.
So the "yet again" part is very true and makes me quite proud.
