If you consider that the majority of users use IE, and then consider the definition of the word "standard," well...
Hehe... I'm only kidding. I try to comply with the W3C standards whenever I can... I use Opera myself, so I want my pages to work perfectly in it, and I also want them to work right in IE because that's what most of the visitors will be using. Sticking to the W3C standards is probably the best way to ensure compatibility. However, I've found that even when a page complies to the standards, different browsers can still interpret certain things differently, forcing you to find a dodgy solution or have different code for different browsers... blah.
