Standards Mode refers to the mode that browsers go into after parsing out the DOCTYPE tag at the top of (responsibly written) HTML documents. When this line is absent, the browsers go into what is called Quirks Mode, which is basically the browser doing whatever it pleases. Nothing fishy about saying that the test only renders correctly in Standards Mode -- that'll be true of any browser.

Well that's good to hear, I was worried it would be something the user had to opt in to.
