In order to be compatible with CSS3 syntax, which we changed, the tests needs to have the additional style rules ".postive .control" and ".case.t10 .test". If these rules are not in the test then the test cannot be used for CSS3 as well. This issue is more of an issue with the CSS3 spec not being compatible with CSS2.1 but it should not invalidate this tests in any way. If browsers are failing this test then they actually have a bug in either parsing or their implementation of CSS 2.1 background-position or CSS3 background-position. I do not think this case should be changed since it is a good test and needs to cover all the scenarios. Potentially the case could be split out and put into its own case. If that is done, that new case with those rules, how do we flag the file. Its invalid for CSS 2.1 but valid for CSS3. This sounds like something we would have to special case for building CSS3 test suite. -- Thanks, Arron Eicholz
