My experience is that browsers succeed on standards-compliant
pages.  Standard compliance should be the first test.  If it
subsequently fails on a particular browser, it is a browser
defect which may or may not be of interest to the publisher.

Agreed that, talking only about HTML, browsers are okay with standard 
page. But nowadays, pages are not only HTML, but CSS, JavaScript, etc.
Then the validators are not useful: a CSS will most likely have 
different rendering even if it's w3 compliant.

Then, talking about publishers, of course they care about particular 
bugs of browsers, and that's why web interface are tough to do! You need 
to have a good/almost-consistent rendering on different browsers... no 
matter if they have bugs or not.
