That statement is misleading. One might be able to create a small html-
primary, css-minimal page that IE would parse acceptably, but the chances
are quite good that any normal, styled, even halfway-comprehensive document
will indeed need an IE-specific "hack" to work as it should.

I very much agree with that as a problem, although the _biggest_ problems
to me are differing and/or non-confirming browser interpretation of css and
even some html, and the vagueries and inconsistencies of css itself.
