Well, that's true, but does not proof anything.
If you know the flaws then you can exploit them or fix them.
As long as those flaws exists in any browser, you can always write pages compliant along the standarts as currently EVERY browser has some problems on some standarts.

For example CSS2.0 is mostly impossible for IE right now.
as well as boxed table tags are horror for the other browsers.

also there are a few css1.0 flaws forin Firefox (if you need an example, look at the bug forum directly after the vb3.0.0 release. Boxed div tags in the postbit template made a little design problem on FF even so the code was absolutelly valid.)

As said, if you know the flaws you can create pages which look ok in one browser but horrible in another, but still is 100% valid

That's the real fun behind standards i think ^^
