Most "developers" (or so they think themselves) these days write and

Chrome, and possibly Opera. They do not understand that writing
*standard, compliant code* will work in *all* modern browsers.
BTW, the<html></html>,<head></head> and<body></body> elements are
_not_ required with any browser, nor by the W3C. I'm quite familiar
with the W3C and CSS validators. For an example, see:

Some years ago, a young fellow did his doctoral thesis on "validity
of web pages." He found at that time that approximately 7% of
millions of pages were valid.
That's a pretty good result, if "valid" means "free of errors." The
world would be a much better place if the human race could achieve that
high standard.
My guess is that millions more pages have only minor slip-ups with
minimal effect on usability. The most egregious cases, as with humans,
are only a small minority.
