As if there were just one "standard" and one revision of that standard to
follow.

I've got to pipe in here because as much as I like to bash Microsoft
myself, this is just undeserved.
There are no saints in the browser arena. Firefox, Netscape, Mozilla,
Safari, etc... all have oddities that make them not work properly in
certain conditions. IE Is very forgiving of crappy HTML, the other
browsers less so most likely because it's harder to make rendering code
that will accept marginal HTML.
