I made the change to "In particular, the output illustrates a
situation .."

RCS file: /w3ccvs/WWW/2001/sw/grddl-wg/td/grddl-tests.html,v
description:
----------------------------
revision 1.52
date: 2007/06/26 13:14:43;  author: cogbuji;  state: Exp;  lines: +6 -4
changed 'corresponds' to 'illustrates' - per D.Booth's suggestion
----------------------------

However, I didn't add the note about what browsers do as GRDDL is a
mechanism for web 'agents' in general not browsers specifically.  The
emphasis on the suggestion in the GRDDL specification to use XProc (in
the "Testing Faithful Infosets" section) seemed sufficient and more
relevant than the TAG issue as XProc is specifically *chartered* to
deliver a Recommendation Track document which addresses fine-grained XML
processing and we have commented [1] on the risk (WRT GRDDL) associated
with not addressing this.

Is it the case that the resolution of the TAGs issue will result in a
(TAG-authored) recommendation track document? Seems unlikely given the
fact that the XProc WG has this responsibility placed squarely in their
lap.
