CSS is not always perfect in the eyes of cross-browser compatibility. For instance, opera still has an aweful time with many things concerning positioning and padding. Plus, I have to agree with those commenting above, that absolute positioning is never a good idea if you want your layout to be locked right in terms of dimensions and stretching.

There should be only be 1 type of position used: floating. Relative+absolute positioning have their uses, one of which is not for positioning an entire layout.
CSS has issues in that older browsers don't support it (given that some of the CSS wasn't in use back then) or tried to support it however it was implemented incorrect (such as the IE5.5 box model from hell) but other than that, not really. It's more whats being fed to the browser than the CSS itself. That's like saying IE6 has problems, therefore its HTML+CSS's fault. You just have to learn to tame it so it does what it should, then you'll never have a problem.
Sometimes it just takes good old trial+error for all browsers to play fair.
