Correct links in beta 2:

Vertical-align with a keyword, 'sub'
http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100727/html4/vertical-align-115.htm

Vertical-align with a keyword, 'super'
http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100727/html4/vertical-align-116.htm


7-
Vertical-align: text-top; meta-test
http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100727/html4/c544-valgn-002.htm

Vertical-align: middle; meta-test
http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100727/html4/c544-valgn-003.htm

Vertical-align: top; meta-test
http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100727/html4/c544-valgn-004.htm

These 3 tests are questionable because the user has to compare vertical
alignment on several elements, without reliable (pixel accuracy) mean.
It would be easier if there was only 1 background image where all the
image top would be aligned.

The 'vertical-align: middle' meta-test c544-valgn-003.htm is definitely
more questionable: your neighbour, your bus driver, etc.. would have a
difficult time trying to establish if that test is passed in several
browsers.

I just think there ought to be a better way for an human user to test,
vertify accuracy and compliance in those tests.
