It's not the fault of HTML if Microsoft decide to allow their browsers, email clients and indeed operating systems to do funky things with it :p
Some of those problems have been caused by buffer overflows in image loading code, perhaps even in zlib (yes, there have been buffer overflows in ZLib!). You can't really blame MS for bugs in zlib. Of course many of the problems had to do with embedded scripts being given too much freedom, and that you can blame MS for.
