Martin: you don’t need to believe that which isn’t true as far as i know, the IE team considered defaulting to IE7 rendering, not IE6.

I still can’t believe that the IE team ever considered the IE6 default behaviour of IE8. Maybe one day the world will be a better place for us who.. uhm.. have a certain distaste of IE.

There’s now a WikiPedia page on the test, stating that Gecko (Firefox) is up to 67 in their nightly builds, and that Webkit (Safari) has reached 90.

I assume Opera will do pretty well too, and it will certainly be interesting to see how many of the tests IE8 will pass.

(Btw: IE6 went all the way to 11, I was told :D)

I just tried Opera 9.26 and whatever Firefox version (pretty recent) I have installed. Neither makes it to 100/100, and both look somewhat different from the reference rendering. Opera does noticeably better than Firefox, although Opera stops at 46 and Firefox at 50.

And, yes, it’s great that the IE team does the right thing.
