While I can't speak for the Epiphany team, since I am not one of them... First, it's Mozillas Gecko engine that does the rendering, so unless the Epiphany team joins Gecko and start patching, it's out of their hands. Second, and this is my personal opinion, I think that the ACID test is of small importance other than for possible bragging rights. Don't get me wrong, I rely heavily on CSS myself, and I'm all for better support of it in all ways. But the ACID test mostly tests quite arcane edge cases and that fallbacks works correctly, stuff that rarely if ever occurs in nature. Case in point is, how many pages do you happen upon that is broken in Epiphany/Firefox but that works in Opera/Safari? And the other way around? So, while it makes for nice PR, and especially gives their users more forum-ammo, it doesn't really have any impact on what makes a good browser, at least not today. And you have to wonder, those resources spent apparently exclusively to pass this test, what could it have been used for instead? As CSS and other support gets implemented anyways, eventually those things will be fixed in Gecko, too. -- Kristoffer -- Kristoffer Lundén ✉ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ✉ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gamemaker.nu/ ☎ 0704 48 98 77
