"As a team, we've spent the last year heads down working hard on IE8. Last week, we achieved an important milestone that should interest web developers. Internet Explorer 8 now renders the 'Acid2 Face' correctly in IE8 standards mode." Insert freezing and hell joke.

Actually, my guess is that "standards mode" simply refers to the "usual" mode for rendering web sites which have a correct DOCTYPE declaration etc... (as opposed to the so-called 'quirks' mode, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quirks_mode )
This strategy of having two modes is pretty common, not just with IE but also with other browsers.
Best,
