Since IE controls the market, and writing to the standards does not work on IE, I think many (most?) sites make sure their site is working on IE and call that good enough.

David Hyatt is one of the Safari developers, and (former?) Mozilla
driver, his blog is the best sources of info I know of for Safari.

I've never seen Safari in the flesh, but with him on the team it's css
