Banksy is a Brit. Many consider his work to transcend graffiti.

I can see that. My beef with it is that it requires people to put up with it if other folks think that they're too plebeian to understand it. And it just gives license to the hoods to continue tagging their turf.

I understand your cogent point. It's an interesting discussion. We had a thread about this very subject. At what point does it become art? Or is it never art? Posting on walls has been around since time in memoria, and I suspect it'll not ever be stopped soon. ;)
