It's already been made: Mozilla. It aims to follow web standards as 
published by the W3C and nothing but the standards.

The impossible part is getting as popular as IE, since most users don't 
bother to replace the browser that came preinstalled on their computer 
with something better.

No, the problem _is_ with IE 6.0 too. It's implementation of web 
standards shows major holes, and require IE-specific workarounds by 
website developers. It can be bloody hard to design a website with HTML 
and CSS, and make it look exactly the same in Mozilla and IE.

Just my 2 cents,
