"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.

This is a CSS test, not a HTML test.
If a website is well-written, all the design rules are inside CSS, while the HTML itself only provides the topological information (this is a headline, this text is emphasized).
IE, if you use a "typical" browser like Firefox or IE, you want the website to be shown according to the CSS rules and you want that to be done right, how it is meant to be.
If you don't want this, you can disable CSS or use a browser who doesn't understand it, like lynx, and have the website "your way".
The problem is, many web developers don't really get it with the seperation of content+structure and design. That said, tests like ACID still make sense.
