We have web standards to prevent browser bugs. Ironically sticking to standards 100 percent of the time often causes buggy visual display in some browsers. Standards are supposed to make things easier but the browsers have been pretty slow in complying. That does not mean that standards are not a good idea. The lack of empirical evidence is due to that non-compliance. The same browser sometimes allows non-compliant code and chokes on valid code. This is a coordination game (just like driving on the right side of the road). If everyone complies (developers, browsers, etc.) things work. If enough don't, everything breaks.
