The W3C document license doesn't allow for modifications, and requires more boilerplate than ideal. This makes it unsuitable for a number of projects. It also is not one of the most common licenses, and would therefore block anyone from, e.g., using these tests in a Google Code repository. I second Anne's request that a more suitable license be used (such as the three-clause BSD, Apache v2, or MIT licenses). -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
