IE would ignore published standards and do nothing to move itself into compliance with them or do its own thing without respect to the published standards. Web developers should be writing markup and code based on published standards and not browser platforms. Standards are based on browser implementation so coding to a browser ignores the standard and can make it more difficult for competing browsers to stay in the game if they are unaware such an implementation is coming without previous discussion among their peers. This causes incompatibility issues and its like IE6 all over again.
