Acid3 Test Simplified; All Modern Browsers Score 100

[Darkerson]

Sounds like what they have been doing to the schools for a while.
"Oh, the students aren't passing as much now? DUMB DOWN THE TESTS!"
"So, are more kids are passing now? PROBLEM SOLVED!"

:/

I liked the prospect of svg fonts.

Title is misleading, the test was not really "simplified." They removed useless kruft that was nolonger part of web standards.

Title should be "Acid3 Test Fixed; All Modern Browsers Score 100." Current title is disingenuous link bait.

"unnecessary SVG font requirements that have nothing to do with properly rendering modern web pages."

- SVG font are a standard. Them should give support.

"This is why FF has been stuck at 97% for what seems like forever. It would've been a pointless waste of time to implement a small subset of the SVG spec
> limi.net/articles/firefox-acid3/"

- The fox and the grapes. Good job Fire"fox".

"just to pass Acid 3, which is basically the only reason to do it"

- Them must give support not to pass a test, but to support a standard.

Of course, ignore the fact that SVf font are a standard and Firefox wants to sell as the "defender of the standards" and that "always supports" them (only when it suits him).

"(but Opera developers seems to think otherwise)."

- Opera developers seems to think that SVG font are a stantdard, then is implement.

"The creators of the Acid test recognized this issue and, among other revisions, removed these SVG font requirements, although it took them a while to do so."

- The creators of the Acid test recognized the issue "Firefox should pass the test" then should get off a standard (font SVG), but instead let specifications that are not yet a standard (for example text-shadow).

"Acid 3 is a specification now?... lol, that's news to me"

- Acid 3 no, but SVG font yes.

@phate "They removed useless kruft that was nolonger part of web standards."

- Error. SVG font ARE standard. But, for example, text-shadow not yet standard, and are not removed.
