Then maybe all browsers should implement standards consistently. That's why we have standards.

Even if everyone implemented the same set of standards, there would still be bugs. Considering the code size of browsers, I expect on the order of 10,000s of bugs in each browser. Now that's not going to be a problem for a static blog, but any sufficiently complex web application is bound to hit some of those bugs.
