As mentioned, when making public websites(at least here in DK), it's

Required by whom? Internet is global, not Danish :)

This: "Browser Compatibility" has no point unless the application
iterates through all common browsers and their versions and
identifies itself as each and one of those to see what code my web
application returns.

I am not sure what you mean here.

OK - an application that tries to find out whether my dynamic web site
is "standard" or not has to fail because my website will be different
depending on the browser accessing it, i.e. the "User Agent".

If this application in question says "I am Internet Explorer 5.5" my
website will adjust styles and layout to Internet Explorer 5.5, so how
can it then tell whether my web site is Firefox compatible?

Here in DK, it is all about using
*standards* and not browser specific HTML/CSS/ECMAScript.

This is impossible since IE browsers < IE 7 interpret borders, paddings
and margins differently than the standard.
If you have a 10px margin in IE, the DIV grows inwards. The standard is
however to have it grow outwards. This is only one of several examples.

I know that IE is is lightyears behind

No, it is not at all.
However, Microsoft has not cared too much about the "standards", and
has gone its own ways, now they are gradually joining the rest.

but rumors says, that IE 7

It is not rumours, it is a fact. Load my web site in IE 7, and you will
see almost the same CSS and HTML as in Firefox.

I can however see a hard time coming for those IE centric systems,
since all the hacks to get IE to work probably wont work as designed
with IE7.

No problem. Either use a dynamic site like mine, or use prefixes that
do not target IE 7. Like the underscore and the asterix prefix, you can
eliminate IE 7 if you wish this way.
I use nothing of this.

Speaking of Firefox: If you haven't already, you should really take a
look at their DOM inspector and their Javascript console.

I have.
