> The fact there are better specs doesn’t help if a large part of the work is handling things that are outside the spec
The way that web specs are handled means that better specs actually bring a lot of those things into the spec. i.e. browser implementers will define a new spec that clearly explains the quirk, and then align on the implementation. There is also a huge test suite which can be used to test conformance.
It's not perfect, but it's definitely a significantly better situation than we had.
