An anonymous reader writes "A month after Safari , and after a lot of controversy, Allan Sandfeld Jensen announced today that Konqueror passes the Acid2 test too. Half of the patches could be merged from Apple's Webcore, the rest needed to be rewritten from scratch."

    basically it's a rigorous test that ensures that a browser has all the goodies that web developers have been lusting after forever.

    You were close, but you missed the point of konq guy (see see this post) when you began talking about the "problems" of Webcore code. The konq guy's message was more or less like this as far as I can see:

    When Konqueror doesn't follow Safari's new feature within 4 hours, don't blame us. When Konqueror finally follows Safari's feature list, don't automatically praise Apple, either.

    It's not like Apple is giving out some drop-in patch, but that's OK. That's their right. Sometimes we take their patch, but sometimes we write things from scratch. When we'll use Apple's code, we'll be slow because of the way they produce their patch, not because we're lazy.

    Apple is OK for me, but please stop bashing our laziness while praising opensource-friendliness of Apple. That hurts.
