Interesting: Konqueror 4.8.3 using WebKit on Linux reaches 321 plus 14 bonus 
points.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/533.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) 
konqueror/4.8.3 Safari/533.3

My guess is that the newer Safari browsers, using the newer WebKit engine, 
will be about the same.

Since Safari 3 is using an older WebKit release it naturally supports less 
“features”. But looking at them, I’m not sure I really want or need all of 
them (at least I want the option of turning them off):
- Geolocation
- Video subtitle support


I think it’s better to have a secure and fast (=optimized code) engine that 
does display >99% of all web pages correctly. All the rest is optional at the 
best.


BTW and in that context, I think WebM support is very importaint, but look at 
the services supporting WebM/HTML5 and favorizing it over Flash: so far I’ve 
only found YouTube to be widely HTML5-ready, but still with Flash you get all 
of it, while with WebM you can sometimes only see the text "this video is not 
available as HTML5" (or so).
Flash is still widely used, and until this changes, WebM is a good development 
to be supported, but you can’t get very far with only it.
