Lets say someone wants to create a 100% compliant browser completely from scratch, guided *only* by HTML5 and other standards external to HTML and with no prior knowledge of the functionality of current browsers. Should this browser then be compatible with "todays content"? In other words: Should the standard be comprehensive and detailed enough to ensure that this browser will be able to handle every single page on "the web as it is today" in a way that doesn't surprise people to much? -- Henrik
