As far as ASP.NET goes, the most annoying feature built into the framework is its insistence on serving up different markup to different browsers. That said, I note Stuart qualified his question by saying he had worked with an experienced Java programmer. Similarly, a good .NET programmer who is aware of the issues and concerned about web standards will also be able to help you achieve compliance. I have worked with ASP.NET for over three years now, and it is possible to get at least XHTML Transitional compliance consistently once you know what the issues are.
