Managed to publish Access Control for Cross-Site Requests, CSS Namespaces Module (hah), CSSOM View Module, and XMLHttpRequest Level 2.
Patched bits of html5lib trunk to match updates in the HTML5 specification. Also added testcases for that which we can reuse for browser testing and all.
Being pleasantly surprised with Microsoft's Interoperability Principles and IE8 although not really with the claim that it is the same as other browsers. “Our” rendering modes are different (in a good way).
Disappointed with the seemlingly proprietary extensions, never proposed in the relevant W3C Working Groups, on the “How do I make my site 'light up' with Internet Explorer 8?” page.
Debugged a good bit of Acid3 for Opera. Fun stuff.
