Consistency. If the CSS WG is going to create an HTML 4.01-specific set 
of tests, then they may as well be HTML 4.01-compliant. I don't see the 
value in mandating that tests be written in a specific document language 
and then suspending the implicit requirement that the documents be 
correctly written.

You also have the benefits of not having to waste time dealing with 
challenges to a test simply on the basis of spec compliance or 
misinterpretations of results on the same basis (as with Gerard?).
