        I suspect you already know this, and perhaps your question is
        rhetorical. I'll answer it anyhow :-). Some browsers had
different 
        interpretations of the standards and render pages radically
differently
        from each other. Testing to the standards is pointless, and will
result
        in thousands of emails asking why IE, and it's box model, has
messed up 
        the pretty design.

Actually as far as I can tell, everyone execpt MSIE is aiming to meet
the ACID 2 test: http://www.webstandards.org/action/acid2/ Admittedly
firefox isn't there yet, but has it as a milestone; but IIRC Opera,
Safri and Konquer all meet the test. So it's no "some browsers" it's "a
browser". Unfortunately, that browser just happens to be the most widely
used one, so it has to be "supported".
