This is pure hypothesis, but I expect Apple are more politically motivated to 
ensure that Safari 'just works' than to ride a moral high horse and 'do it 
right' as a fully open project like KDE / Konqueror may do.

As such, Apple will probably have included code that makes it fall back to 
acting as Mozilla or MSIE so that sites with poor code render properly. The 
real world is not interested in whether the technology behind the page is 
XHTML compliant or not - only if it looks and works right.

My 2 cents...

Cheers,
Gavin.
