The Second Acid Test
Now will they really pass Acid 2?
And how much fun do you think this will be for all of us? This is not only going to cost more for us making web browsers, but also for the web developers..

-1 points to those who love the web
+1 points to those who never spent the extra hours writing standard compliant code while making sure it still worked in browsers that never cared (they saved time by beeing lazy)
-1 points to those who spent all their time thinking they helped the web advance, while in the end the result was just a few pages bumped up an other version number
It's stuff like this that makes me wonder if my mum was right when I was young and she told me stealing and lying would not get me anywhere in the end. Maybe beeing lazy and breaking rules would help me get a few extra years of health in the end.
