Back in the day (1995), the W3C proposed a standard for a new version of
HTML: version 3.0. It had advanced features; too advanced, in fact, for
the browsers of the day. A few months after the initial HTML 3.0 draft,
it was withdrawn for lack of browser support.
In 1996, a more realistic HTML 3.2 standard was proposed. It omitted the
FIG and OVERLAY elements, along with some others. Today's browsers
support HTML 4.0, a direct descendant of HTML 3.2, and therefor have a
lack of support for FIG and OVERLAY.
As for "a W3C browser", assuming that you really mean "a browser that's
compliant to W3C-authored standards", there isn't one. Opera probably
has the best support, with Mozilla and Konqueror being close second and
thirds -- IE comes in at a distant fourth -- but no browser has perfect
support for standards.

A Web browser developed by the W3C with relatively decent, but still
imperfect, support for Web standards.

Indeed. Plus of course it depends a lot on which W3C standard you're
talking about. Relevant to this newsgroup is HTML, and none of the
above mentioned browsers offer as complete HTML support as iCab[*].
(And even iCab's HTML support isn't complete.)
