Popularity can be a fallacious indicator, but so can authority over the specification. Practice is the only sure indicator.
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.
