One that has risen more than once in my projects is the browser's
handing of the following <form> fragment:
<select name=x>
<option>Choice 1
<option>Choice 2
<option>Choice 3
</select>
One browser does what I prefer (default is nothing selected) but doesn't
follow the HTML standard as I read it and the other follows
the standard (default is first is selected). Yet another browser ignores
selected in <option selected>.
