Some anecdotal evidence: I've used Safari on a Mac, and there are some
pages that are _not_ rendered correctly. They are edge cases, although
it can occasionally make a site unusable. I have not come across any
pages Mozilla could not render for a long time. khtml gives the
impression of being where mozilla was about 8 months ago.

A lot of the Mozilla code is cludge to make IE-designed pages render
properly - khtml is not the only browser that has to do this.

Try www.mozilla.org :-)

Apart from gecko is a good rendering engine, at least equal to khtml for
rendering complex web pages. (khtml may have an edge for simple webpages
in yelp/devhelp etc.)
