Yes agreed Anne.
Kind of surprising that
	* Safari (Dave Hyatt), - W3C Member
	* Mozilla (Ian Hickson) - W3C Member, and
	* Opera (Anne Van Kesteren, ex Ian Hickson) - W3C Member
haven't committed to finish the completion of the [HTML 4.01 Test  
Suite][1] initially started by Microsoft (Tantek Çelik) and the WASP  
released in… 2003!

I haven't found also a Test Suite for Web Apps 1.0 and WebForms 2.0  
as well. Do you know if it exists?
