Only if you believe in anarchy, surely ?

Following W3 spec to the letter is fairly limiting, since in practice browser
implementations differ (from the specification and from each-other).
Forgotten about IE6 already? ;)

No, but neither have I ever found it necessary to generate
a non-conformant document in order to cope with its vagaries
(or even with the vagaries of Netscape 4).

Surely the goal is to write fully conformant documents that
render reliably (if not necessarily consistently) in all
mainstream browsers; if the alternative is to write non-
conformant documents in order to pander to the inability
of browser vendors to W3C specifications, then count me
out, please.
