HTML5 and new Web Standards; We all need standards people.

While browsing the planet spanning, information rich, inner-web, I came across an interesting blog post and browser test.

And I quote...
"The goal for the final release of IE9 is full HTML5 compliance and “Same Markup” – that is, rendering the same HTML, CSS and JavaScript the same way. The idea is that you, the web developer, shouldn’t have to come up with workaround or hacks to get the same page to display the same way across browsers."

And I quote again...
"While the Acid3 test isn’t the holy grail – some of its tests don’t mesh with the HTML5 standard as it is right now, others are still “under construction” – more compliance with HTML5 typically means a higher Acid3 score. IE9 Platform Preview 2 currently scores 68 out of a possible 100, which is an improvement over Platform Preview 1’s score of 55, and leaps and bounds ahead of IE8’s scores for 20."

My results were:
BIG WIN - Chrome 4.1.249.1064 (45376)
BIG FAIL - IE 8.0.6001.18702
