Wording of text-transform-bicameral-*

Hi,

the text-transform-bicameral-* tests all use the wording "Test passes if  
the left-hand character in each pair matches the right-hand one."

Some of our testers have interpreted this in a way that would classify  
characters of the same shape as "matching", resulting in  
mis-classifications of tests like e.g. this one:

http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20110111/html4/text-transform-bicameral-022.htm

I suggest that the text be clarified further. E.g.: "Test passes if the  
left-hand character in each pair is identical to the right-hand one  
(having both the same shape and the same size)".

Another potential issue is that the characters will be exactly identical  
if no suitable font is found and a replacement character is rendered  
instead. Should probably also clarify that each pair should be different  
 from all the other pairs.
