Browser wars, but fighting each other for the best compliance? Awesome beyond words! Microsoft take note.

I really hope they all (including IE) end up fully compliant or at least function the same wrong way. If only CSS and ALL JS DOM levels were identical... oh, lets not forget vector images.

Regarding Browser Quality Control:

Are there any fully verified JS systems with cross-host "browser" emulation with encapsulated parsing of all content? Any that have a master database of URL validation? Anything that handles profiling and modeling of browser environment vulnerabilities and provides cross-browser verification for remote sites/scripts?

Please let me know the current status, Im sure there is quite a bit of interest in fully emulated browser systems across all browser host platforms. There are a few mini-browsers in the browser based "desktop" projects, however none I've seen today are very well designed at all.
