Not at all true, Russ. Here's a website that I wrote in 1994 that is archived (archive.org only has it back through 1996) that works just fine in Chrome 16, IE 9 and FireFox 8 on a Windows 7 box.

I was targeting HTML specs and, lo and behold, still works fine 15+ years later on browsers I could not have imagined at the time.
