The basic problem is still that HTML (properly xhtml) is not really capable of being WYSIWYG. Once you start throwing floating and fixed blocks around, you do need to have some idea of flowing and how layout works. Get the page layout right, or it will break for some people. Even I sometimes break things ;-) (especially on "free" sites where I experiment a little ;-) ). I will generally try to put it right.
I think that you'll find your general problems with experimentation are mostly IEs very poor CSS support, and IEs very poor PNG support. Maybe someone should suggest to M$ that they should base IE on the Gecko engine... then see how long it takes for the web developers to fix the websites ;)
