Look at it like this. You're an end-user. Browser A renders your favourite
site perfectly, Browser B shows you a blank page. Which browser will you
use?

One starts with a browser, then looks at sites. If site A is unreadable
in my browser, I go to site B instead (unless site A has some *really*
important content that I simply cannot get anywhere else - doesn't
happen often.)

(Example off the top of my head: Netscape 4 is really picky about </td
tags. Mozilla 1 will correctly render the page if you ignore them.)

table border="1"
tr><td>1<td>3<tr><td>2<td>4
/table

That's a poor example though - omission of </td> is valid, and Netscape
4 is broken. The issue here is error-correction of invalid HTML.
