If only that were true. Every page I produce is 100% W3C compliant.
That's not enough. In the area of CSS alone, IE for Windows is not
compliant, while IE for Mac is. NS v>6, and Mozilla v>.8 are. Opera is
not. And, let's not even get into how tables and frames are handled.
If you develop for the web, you just have to test, and test on every
browser (old and new) users might possibly choose.
