Working Group Resolution:
We do not allow HTML documents, only those that validate as XHTML Basic
1.1 (or XHTML MP).

Working Group Resolution:
We specify that the size of images is specified in the HTML markup and not
in CSS to allow the browser the chance to render only once. If the image
size is specified in CSS that does not achieve the same effect. Add a note
under this test commenting on this issue.

Working Group Resolution:
Per LC-1739 we don't think that we should look at CSS white space in this
iteration of the document anhd will add a note clarifying that it is not
handled.
