Sergei Mutovkin’s Rumbling Mumbling

Well, not exactly, but the headline is loud, but still more of a wish then reality

Anyway, in the recent IE Blogm Internet Explorer’s Development team finally decided to recognize that Web Standards are “standards” and not something that can be easily ignored, even though Microsoft was successful doing this for 7 years now. They recognized the standards by announcing that that Internet Explorer 8 in its normal mode has passed ACID2 test. Though the test might not really be an indication that all standards are well supported, it is a milestone that has been reached by other browsers quite long ago.

Unfortunately, still, there will be many ignorant web developers that code not for W3C published standards, but for IE6 and IE7 only. My only hope is that all of them one day loose their job and never be accepted into development community again.

Don’t ignore open standards - follow them.
