Ahh. Finally it looks like Internet Explorer will follow the rules. The folks at Microsoft have been working hard (well, they’re probably trying to reduce the pain), and they now pass the infamous ACID2 test (you would see a smiley face on the second link if your browser passes), which even the current version of Firefox can’t claim.
Microsoft’s channel 9 has more, including a video with IE’s GM Dean Hachamovitch and Architect Chris Wilson. Oh yeh, but you need silverlight to watch it. Doh.
Anyway, congrats to the IE team, and keep working hard at it. This is good news for both developers and users (which latest figures show are anything from 30% to 90% of web users).
