Where to report sites that render bad in konqueror?

Actually, Apple has at least given lip service to the effect that the intend 
to share... here's an excerpt:
-----
The good news for Konqueror: Apple, which said that it will be "a good open 
source citizen [and] share its enhancements with the Konqueror open source 
community", has today sent all changes, along with a detailed changelog, to 
the KHTML developers.
-----
I got that from here:
http://dot.kde.org/1041971213/

I'm really hoping the next version of Konqueror catches up with Safari (or at 
least the other Linux browsers) in terms of compatibility by the next 
release.

Cheers,
Sean
