I am not looking or asking to make the CSS test suite an HTML4 test
suite at the same time.

I said already I am all for removing those testcases. But now, you
replace them with what exactly?
I have propose EM in the previous email and in
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-css-testsuite/2010Oct/0016.html
but then again, there is no normative requirements for user agent
stylesheets in CSS 2.1, to style EM element as 'font-style: italic' and
to do so in the user agent stylesheet.
I could replace those testcases with testing the B element as follows too:
div {font-weight: normal;}
<div><b>This text should be bold</b></div>
but then again there is no requirement in CSS spec to style b element as
'font-weight: bold' and to do so in the user agent stylesheet.
regards, Gérard
