It's not meaningless. Because in order to implement a browser, you have to figure out which of them are dupes, deprecated, drafts etc.

And even that won't help you. Because a huge amount of "deprecated" standards are in the browsers. A huge amount of stuff in the browsers is still at the "community draft" stage, and yes, you have to implement that, too.

Microsoft simply gave up, forked Chromium... And they still can't keep up: https://web-confluence.appspot.com/#!/confluence
