What browser and version are you using?

Some browsers make "defects" easily visible, while others are somewhat  
successful in papering them over.

At least one popular browser *requires* certain HTML coding  
"defects" (in other words, not conforming to W3C standards) in order  
to render a page without the visual defects to which you refer.

Would you call a page that renders properly on a W3C-conforming  
browser "defective" because it doesn't display properly on a browser  
that does not conform to standards? Or should everyone be expected to  
sprinkle "if ($browser = 'MSIE') <style type="text/css">@import / 
IEFixes.js..." throughout their code, which slows down and sometimes  
even breaks properly conforming browsers?
