I'm interested. Do you have a specific case where that happened?
Normally, there shouldn't be ambiguities of _rendering_ in (X)HTML,
given it is just a language to represent structured data.
Thus, rendering issues are either originating from bad browser-defaults
or faulty CSS.
If you refer to this, I totally agree: When you start styling a
HTML-document, you usually can't write the CSS down and then be done,
but often have to check the page by reloading.
As we're discussing XML- and SGML-parsers here, this is another issue.

Definitely!
