Safari has passed the Acid2 test! This is in an as-yet unreleased version of Safari, though Hyatt is posting patches to WebKit, the open-source rendering component that is the core of Safari. So now the question is whether Apple can get this out to users before anybody else.
Dave Hyatt—former Mozilla engineer, developer of XUL, now Apple Safari engineer—has for a while been showing and discussing his progress in modifying Safari to comply with the Acid2 Test [click to see how your browser renders this complex test of Web standards compliance and how it should].
Safari, which has long had better (partial) CSS-3 support than most/all other browsers, looks like it has the potential to become the most current- and future-standards compliant browser in the world.
