It is information for the person setting up the test suite, not the tester. If the server is not set up properly it could also be that the test files are delivered as text/plain rather than application/xhtml+xml in case of .xht files or text/html in case of .htm files. And that CSS files are delivered as text/html rather than text/css, et cetera. This is not information that we need to bother testers with. > I also there is one other test that I can think of that has a similar > pattern in Chapter 5 (lang-selector-005).

Assuming an Apache setup this information would typically be in a .htaccess file. That is how the W3C version would work so maybe we should just use that. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
