Standards Mode
In the Standards mode the browsers try to give conforming documents the specification-wise correct treatment to the extent implemented in a particular browser.
Since different browsers are at different stages of compliance, the Standards mode isn’t a single target, either.
HTML 5 calls this mode the “no quirks mode”.
Almost Standards Mode
Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera (since 7.5) and IE8 also have a mode known as “the Almost Standards mode”, which implements the vertical sizing of table cells traditionally and not rigorously according to the CSS2 specification. Mac IE 5, Windows IE 6 and 7, Opera prior to 7.5 and Konqueror do not need an Almost Standards mode, because they don’t implement the vertical sizing of table cells rigorously according to the CSS2 specification in their respective Standards modes anyway. In fact, their Standards modes are closer to Mozilla’s Almost Standards mode than to Mozilla’s Standards mode.
HTML 5 calls this mode the “limited quirks mode”.
