Since the test is flagged as "may", the wording is correct.
To pass the test, the UA must justify the text. However,
passing the test is not required to claim conformance to
the spec.
That said, I agree with the comments about how the test
could be written better. It should be possible, using
Bruno's Ahem-based test as an example, to write the test
so that it compares against a reference rendering created
with box borders.
