> A quick note about the score: Acid3 dates back to 2008 and the web platform specs have changed over time so a perfect score, using the version hosted on acidtests.org, is now only 97/100. The version hosted on the web platform tests site has been updated to match the specs and so, using that, browsers should score 100/100.

They should release an up-to-date version of the test then, Maybe call it Acid3.11 for Workgroups, or something.

Technically yes, but only some niche parts of the original test do not apply anymore. Firefox and Chrome "fail" the test with a score of 97/100, a large part of it is still useful.
