No, that doesn't follow, because they are _quirks_mode_ compatibility bugs.

If someone suggests putting compatibility fixes of that sort into 
standards mode, there's normally a pretty big pushback. The reason we 
_have_ quirks mode is so that we can also have a standards-compliant 
mode which does the right thing. If we only had one mode, it would be 
much worse for the Internet's standards compliance.
