Brand new install of chrome got me 92 on the acid test...
IE8 = 12/100
Opera 10 Beta 100/100, but I'm not really digging the stuff that sticks up above the tabs. (Kind of like chrome but looks slightly messier)

FF3.5 does much better. Just ran it and got a 93/100. Though the king of standards compatibility is webkit+safari
And I'm happy to know that IE is less integrated now ^^

I thought the standard isn't fully set up yet. So Safari being up there so fast... doesn't mean anything yet. Just because one is fast to do something doesn't mean it's going to be good all the way though. (Something like... Sony PS3 or Sony/Toshiba OLED.... )

If you mean HTML5 then yes, as far as i know it's still only a draft. However acid3 doesn't test HTML5 yet for that very reason.
My guess is that acid4 will be the test that will support HTML5 when it is finally out.
Also, I agree that which ever browser finishes the race first isn't always the best. But it at least shows that they care about web standards, which is important to me.
fohfoh:
I guess... but it's like the Bitorrent thing. Bittorrent was there, with bitcomet and bitlord and those...
utorrent and azureus/vuze are far more powerful than those formers.
Apple OS was out first, but Microsoft (whether you like it or hate it) is still ahead (for now)
Browsers? Bye bye netscape.

Smells good to me. It would be quite nice to have no need to download this codec and that codec just to watch the stupid video & audio clips (I've got a problem with something OTHER than standardizing the internet :D ) that are all over teh interwebs these days.
Not to mention, I'd love to see Flash turn to shit now that it's in Adobe's hands. Screw them. Cornering the whole media/design market by buying out Macromedia. Bastards.

There hasn't been a peep out of the IE developers about support for <video> or <audio>.

Ha?
I'm sure there's a "We think our lack of support for features is good, since these features are not needed by our customers - and .... hey, it's good for internet explorer's *whisper* nonexistent security". (the old standby.)
I think IE is somewhere back in 1995 with their standards support. (click to show/hide)(Someone "smart" will ALWAYS correct me, no matter how deep I dig into the bucket of BS. Don't matter if I slap on a layer of sarcasm 12" thick.)
dankles:
Yup. I've disliked flash for a long time. But then it went into adobes hands.... uuuugh~!
I hate that I need it installed ... thank god for the "flashblock" FF plugin!
I hope that <video> will help destroy flash 8)
