Actually it's more due to the fact that 75% of websites or so do not 
follow any standards by choice, simply because there are so many things 
that *cannot* be accomplished without exploiting some subtle flaw in a 
browsers' implementation of the W3C standards.

In a nutshell: If the browser manufacturers followed standards and website 
owners followed standards we'd be in a LOT better situation.  Website 
owners need to learn that HTML is a *text* markup language.  It was never 
designed for page layout or producing pretty designs.
