IE 8 Passes Acid 2

Which is great. But I wonder what, if any, interesting new things layout hackers or Dean Edwards can work out about the internals of IE from the list of touched files in the IE Blog blogpost?

As it's a closed source app we can only take their word for it that they've got it displaying correctly. Of course, with news like this then they'll definitely have ACID2 working in the first public beta but they may have rushed this announcement so to silence the criticism they were suffering on their previous IE8 blog post.

IE8 DOES NOT PASS THE ACID2 TEST. It only "rendered" the smiley face using a doctored offline copy of the test page. IE8 cannot and does not pass the actual online Acid2 test. More smoke and mirrors from Microsoft.

Rob: Do you have any evidence to back up that assertion?
