RE: Make Microsoft follow the spec.

Because the W3C does not define our product lines for us.   Just because our
browser is "up to date" doesn't mean what the collection of all our
customers tell us to do is the same as the latest set of Recommendations
from the W3C.

As a student to the world of website building, I am wondering about a
fundamental question.  The w3c is an agreed upon entitiy that
maintains/monitors/develops the language of the web (html,xml, etc).  If
this is the case, why is it that all "up to date" browser programs do not
support all included "tags" for this language? Maybe I am over simplifying
this problem?

Unless you work for Microsoft, please don't make presumptions about what we
did or didn't do "deliberately".  Bugs in our CSS implementation that cause
us to fail forward compatibility tests were not intentional.
