Those two statements don't follow. "Render correctly" means show what
the valid parts of HTML and CSS state. It does not mean show what the
author intended to be shown.

With non-valid code any browser is free to render whatever it likes and
still be correct. If the requirement is "render identically to what huge
bloated guessing engines extract from nonsense", then yes, those very
engines are the only ones to do it.
