You know, Tantek's right. It's pretty obvious that the browser vendors (aka implementers) control the definitions of what's "broken" or not broken on the web. Since that's the case, why don't the spec writers just pack it up and go home, since the W3C couldn't possibly have a collective understanding of what the "Web" might be in any sense greater than those who've implemented it and their understanding of those who use it. Internet Explorer and its behavior is the Web, right? We couldn't possibly assume that the many developers who test their work exclusively in Internet Explorer are remotely interested in whether their server is set up properly, so long as it works in IE, right?
