Does IE8 Really Pass Acid2? [Updated]

Posted by kdawson on from the two-green-eyes-please dept.

thevirtualcat found some inconsistencies in IE8's Acid2 results that made him wonder what's going on. Can anyone replicate these results or, better yet, explain them?
Update: 03/22 23:54 GMT by KD : Several readers pointed out this has to do with cross-site scripting prevention, as described here.

    Problems with IE8's Acid2 results stem from cross site scripting issues which they're still working on. Rendering is done just fine, but the cross site scripting is posing a problem.

    I heard the exact details about this over at MIX but I don't remember them now.
