Please don't misquote me, I never said any of that.  That's very much
the opposite of my message.

My point was that being W3C compliant is important, but it's not
enough because the browsers people use don't always implement W3C
correctly.  Which is exactly what started this discussion.

So you need to be W3C compliant *and* you need to adjust the style
sheet so that the page displays acceptably in all likely browsers.

Side note: 
The W3C offers a very nice validation service:
