The bug reporting is a good idea, however because of the way some sites are built it will never be totally compatable across the board.
The web system I work with nearly daily works in IE5/6 on the PC only. I don't fully understand it, but from what's been explained to me it has something to do with the way IE on the PC hooks into the OS. Hell it is the OS, but anyway since no other browser on Earth can call the same way IE does on the OS no other browser will work with this web system.
Now the solution would be to reprogram the system so it doesn't use the IE only speicifications, but that's not a choice left at this point.
It will still be some time before everything is cross compatable, and a lot is left in the hands of developers to do it the right way.
