You know, ACID2 is not everything. ACID2 got famous because it's a nice picture and tests some pretty obscure things, so all browsers failed.

In normal webdeveloper practice KHTML is a very nice engine. But it still lacks compared to Gecko. For example, it's not possible to add new stylesheet rules with JavaScript. And a bug I discovered a few weeks ago and was fixed a week later in the svn version:
KHTML could not assign a percentage height to an element, when it's parent had no explicit height set, but got it implicit via position: absolute; top: 1em; bottom: 1em;
Sounds obscure, but is something that happens far more often in practice, than most of the ACID2 tests that modern browsers fail.
