I can't speak for David, but I maintain a data base of browser capabilities
to fight browser bugs. Among others are
- a number of browsers get confused if there are multiple
<INPUT TYPE=IMAGE> with the same SRC= attribute.
- a number of browsers get various mysterious failures and
rendering errors on anchors in tables.
Those are the two big ones on my site. There are probably some others.
Neither of these is a presentation issue.
I don't think browser vendors will provide a content-negotiation string
listing their bugs. 8-)
