It's not as bad as it looks - ACID is only useful for HTML/CSS
combinations and derivatives. It doesn't test support for images and
Flash etc. So ACID compatibility would not meet the needs of the
original purpose of the document.

Mac and Linux support is explicitly *included*, as is Firefox/iceweasel.
Opera loses out but then Opera is non-free.

Some mention of ideas around anybrowser.org would be a very good idea
but not much more would probably could have been expected.
