The problem with that is "arguably broken" is subjective. If one vendor
thinks
the standard is broken and the other doesn't then we end up with two
different
implementations anyway. That's no better than not having a standard at all.
Heck, the whole HTML 4.0 spec is "arguably broken" (hence it being the last
version -- XHTML 1.0 being the replacement). :)
