Well, its not incorrect. we ignore display: none on some elements, like 
<HTML> or <FRAMESET>, because clueless webdesigners set it on those elements 
and this makes the site inaccessible to konqueror. 

We have similiar hacks in many places where a certain CSS setting just 
doesn't make any sense (while still being widely employed on webpages).
