Not to mention the speed and accuracy with which it does it.

I suppose you have a good point that _some_ browser has to be
standards-compliant to a fault, or we can't ensure that our websites are
standards compliant, but really it's not a browser-developer's job to
ensure that as much as it is a page-writer's job.  

I don't write pages that check for specific browsers - because that's too
much trouble - and I don't write pages that only work on IE, because that's
bad business.  So I use toolkits that are browser-neutral - and to make
sure that _they_ don't just check for specific user agents, I test with
something like konqueror.  But I'd really prefer to be able to test with a
pure _test_ browser, and have a konqueror that worked.  Sort of like
running either IE or Firefox in "Standards-compliant" mode (what a laugh!).
