Acid4 will be primarily a visual test, not especially scripted.
It will likely focus on the following specifications and areas:
* http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-multicol/
* http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-background/
It may also include subpixel positioning; will likely be partially or
entirely in rtl mode and may contain non-ASCII Unicode characters with
special formatting requirements, e.g. U+200B; and may contain empty
inline boxes that are styled.
The test itself will not be developed in public, but a list of
features tested will be compiled and distributed before the test is
announced to ensure there is broad agreement on the set of features
tested. Before it is announced, browser vendors will be asked to
suggest the best six-month window for release in the next 12 months.
LESSONS FROM ACID3
========================================================================
- don't include minor bugs
- don't ask for specific tests, write the tests yourself
- request feedback from early on (t=0) in the cycle, both publically
and directly to specific people
- ask for feedback about what things to test
- don't actually show the test early in the cycle, to prevent people
from targetting it while people are discussing what to test
- no performance stuff as part of the test (though as a separate
competition is ok if you get everyone to sign off on the test being
fair)
- make it have a pretty picture
- ask browsers for advice on timing the announcment of the test

ABSOLUTELY MUST have test of fractional pixel values, e.g. margin-left
of one inline-block + margin-right of another inline-block being
0.24px + 0.76px, also em values of fractional font sizes, etc.

Opera 9 has bugs in how it handles right-to-left sections (used for
Arabic, Hebrew, etc.). In particular it reverses right and left
padding on boxes, which is wrong. It would be a very valuable addition
to Acid3 to put either <tag dir=rtl> or .class {direction: rtl} on the
page to verify that table and box rendering is correct in that mode.

# The entity &8203; -- zero-width space -- works properly in Mozilla,
Safari, and Opera. But it leaves a block glyph in IE everywhere used,
not just at taken breaks.

========= Test implicit calls of function overrides =======
var org = String.prototype.toString; // backup original function
String.prototype.toString = function() { return "xyz"; }
var idx = "abc".indexOf("y");
String.prototype.toString = org; // avoid side effects
if (idx != 1)
throw "toString() override not in effect";
return 5;
============================================================
Reasoning based on the ECMAScript Edition 3 spec: the lookup of the
"indexOf" property will be done after the primitive string value is
promoted with ToObject() (11.21.1 Property Accessors). This will
result in a String object. The String.prototype.indexOf() function
found by the "indexOf" lookup is defined to call ToString on the
"this" value (15.5.4.7). Section 9.8 says that ToString will first
call ToPrimitive() and then ToString() on the result. ToPrimitive()
will call the internal [[DefaultValue]] function (9.1). Section
8.6.2.6 defines [[DefaultValue]] to execute a toString() function
should it exist. And that's the point where a custom function set by
the JS programmer should be respected.

IE6 renders the inlines badly in this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<style>span { border: solid }</style>
aa<span>aa<p>aa</span>aa</p>aa</span>aa
default <option> when first disabled http://simon.html5.org/test/ie7b2-bugs/049.html
empty inlines with borders should render (http://simon.html5.org/test/ie7b2-bugs/043.html)
borders on inlines should paint http://simon.html5.org/test/ie7b2-bugs/042.html
unknown colours should drop the declaration http://simon.html5.org/test/ie7b2-bugs/038.html
!important followed by non-!importatnt should let the !important one win
