Hopefully you can emphasize that these are Windows results (as the Mac  
version of Safari 3.1 should do much better than the Windows version).

Most of these bugs that you describe are fixed in WebKit nightlies for  
Windows.  (http://nightly.webkit.org/)  I don't know if you want to  
include those in your results, but I thought you should know that many  
of these issues have been addressed.
