Surely the goal is to write fully conformant documents that

out, please.
"... to pander to the inability of browser vendors to comply

I question if "inability" is the correct description. With some browser
vendors IMO a more accurate term would be "refusal".
Hello Barney, Marc and Bob,
What you have all said is very untrue and all you have achieved is
adding more incorrect information to the internet about browsers, W3C
specifications and etc. which will show up in search engines.
With this statement, "the inability of browser vendors to comply with
W3C specifications." I can assure that the total reverse is true,
especially with the support of the CSS specs. Now I do believe that this
is a list for CSS so if any of you are talking about something other
than CSS, then it is off topic for this list.
Browsers correct implementation of the larger part of the CSS specs was
achieved with the release of IE8 and since then, a whole test-suite has
developed (from 5,000 to 26,000 test cases) for browsers implementers to
achieve interoperability among browsers.
The greatest change regarding CSS is the extensive work in re-writing
various parts of the CSS2.1 specs to match current browser behavior.
When browsers did disagree with behavior, then test cases were created
to work out the best approach.
