"Acid3, in particular, contains some controversial tests and no longer reflects the consensus of the Web standards it purports to test, especially when it comes to issues affecting mobile browsers. The tests remain available for historical purposes and for use by browser vendors. It would be inappropriate, however, to use them as part of a certification process, especially for mobile browsers." Wikipedia gives this as an example of a standard that changed: https://github.com/whatwg/dom/issues/319 https://github.com/whatwg/dom/issues/319 Edit: there's an updated version at http://wpt.live/acid/acid3/test.html http://wpt.live/acid/acid3/test.html

And the updated one is in https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/tree/master/acid https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/tree/master/acid for those wanting to look at the history (though it only includes the ppst-fork history, not the earlier updates).
