Have you ever tried to write one CSS file and see it works across all browsers?  It is a frustrating and difficult job.   I saw something very funny on this the other day and submitted it to SlashDot.  It made the front page:

"Microsoft is tracking incompatible Web sites for its upcoming Internet Explorer 8 browser and has posted a list that now contains about 2,400 names — including Microsoft.com. Apparently, even though Microsoft's IE8 team is doing the 'right' thing by finally making IE more standards-compliant, they are risking 'breaking the Web' because the vast majority of Web sites are still written to work correctly with previous, non-standards-compliant versions of IE."
