The Acid2 test is an utterly meaningless piece of softcore maturbatory material for OCD fetishists. The fact that 99% of all browsers have never passed this test certainly hasn't hindered the development of websites.

I respectfully disagree. WebKit (and therefore Safari) passes the Acid2 test. The updated Gecko engine (and therefore FF3) pass the Acid2 test. And now IE8 will pass the test. To say 99% of all browsers haven't passed the test, doesn't really account for the near to immediate future when most browsers will be Acid2-compliant.

Yeah, test suites are *so* pointless -- who gives a shit if your code does what it's supposed to, as long as you can get a lot of suckers to use it?
Seriously, the whole point of the acid test is to get everybody rendering HTML consistently, so web developers don't have to resort to hacky per-browser bullshit to make pages appear the way they want them to. Frankly, it's about friggin' time.
