...and what would be the problem with that?

Isn't that why we pirate software instead of buying it?

The problem is that without some standardising force different versions of the very same browser can be quite inconsistent...

Have you ever tried to read them with the mind of a browser implementor? I did once when I was more into web stuff, and I clearly remember that they were definitely not without holes when looked at as a spec.

I already gave my opinion of them. Maybe the specs by themselves can be misinterpreted but the bug reports surely cannot.

It definately doesn't leave room for silly things like IE's inline vs box model inconsistencies.

I must have missed the :hover thing. What :hover thing?

I know IE6 only supported :hover on anchors; I'm assuming that as it already had the mechanism to support different effects on hover anyway (underlined or not) changing it via CSS wasn't too tricky. Extending it to cover any old element was probably a lot of work, hence having to wait for IE7? In any case, there are a multitude of JavaScript hacks that make :hover tricks (such as Suckerfish menus) work nicely.

I've got an interesting IE bug where it displays an ordered list like this:

First
Second
Third
1. Fourth
1. Fifth
1. Sixth

The problem with Internet Explorer is that it's got so many varied and seemingly random rendering bugs. I once had a bug where, when you moved the mouse cursor it left a white 'trail' on the page where ever it had been. I had another where in order to get images to load you had to move the mouse cursor over them and they would show up bit by bit.
