IE supports W3C standards (Score 1)

In my web development travels I have -tried- to develop with many browsers in mind. The main problem that I have run into as I attempt to please all browsers is that IE and Opera have the best support for HTML and CSS. Netscape, who many tote as so much better, is crap when it comes to design using W3C standards. I would like to drop M$ as much as the next guy, but I do not find a compelling reason. The banners of Opera (which still is a little screwy with CSS) or the widely used, and decent devil IE are my only real choices. I have used Konquerer and like it, but I cannot expect KDE to be on the majority of desktops for a while. If Opera can get rid of the few quirks and the banners, I would procaim it "King of browsers" in an instant.
