Good question. Looks like its only a strange happy face that gets a blue nose when you mouse over it, and for such a simple thing it sure has a lot of code in the source.

It's a test for browser compliance with a number of CSS rules. In and of itself the test is pretty useless, but it's also a sort of barometer for how well a browser supports CSS. Right now I believe only KHTML-based browsers pass the test.

Basically, it is a single Web page that exercised certain parts of HTML and CSS in unconventional ways, but ways which are clearly defined in the standards such that they should work. As testcases go it's actually pretty terrible, but it makes for a very good (and very important) benchmark.
Thus far, only two browsers have actually released a version which passes the test: iCab got there first, and Safari is now the second. Opera looks like it will probably be third, based on its developer previews. IE/Win has promised support in a future release, but they've also said that IE7 won't have all of it (though there will be improvements). Sadly, the Gecko team (which makes Firefox) hasn't seen fit to even make it a priority, which is frankly an embarrassment.

I'd like to take this opportunity to promise that I will invent perpetual motion. Perhaps not in my next project, but I'm eager to go on record saying that I will do it.

Hmmmmm...
Using Safari 2.0.1 I am NOT passing the test...
(i.e., looks nothing like the "Reference Rendering" & has "error" printed in it)
No Safari plugins here, either.
Any explanationss?

Did Safari only become compliant that recently?
I ask, because I'm still in the leisurely period after a new sys upgrade (10.4.3) where I read about others' traumas before risking my own

Yes, Safari 2.0.2, which comes with 10.4.3, is the upgrade that passes the Acid 2 test.
