Your PC isn't "CAN compliant" either, but you can connect it to your car through an appropriate interface. The MC2515/MC2551 combination forms the interface to the ATmega (or any other SPI-capable uP you like). "Compliance" isn't really a deciding factor as much as "conformance". You can be conformant without being compliant... in the end, things will work just fine, but you don't get the pretty stamp from the standards body.
