I wish you the best of luck <g>.

For HTML the most complete overview is the HTML compendium, though not 
everything is annotated. http://www.htmlcompendium.org
For CSS1 the Masterlist remains the best.

I've made some notes on CSS2 compatibility.

No doubt many people will add their favourites to this list.

It makes perfect sense, but there are no sites that contain overall 
compatibility charts because they are far too hard to maintain. Usually 
people volunteer to do such things and their time is limited, while browser 
behaviour is quite unlimited.

Besides, even if you have described CSS1 browser compatibility and two CSS 
properties may work fine separately, when combined they might cause buggy 
behaviour in a certain browser.

You'll have to find out by trial and error, like all of us. Probably the 
links you'll get will give you introductions to some of the problems 
besetting us.

Good luck,

ppk
