Alright, I've done all the changes you and Peter mentioned, except for number 5. > 5- The title text often seems to me to be more of a text assert > actually. The title text should just describe what the test involves. > The text assert should describe the goal, purpose, target, etc of a > test. > > Expressions like "should work", "should not work", "should apply", > "should not apply", "should parse", "should successfully parse", "be > parsed succesfully" in the title text suggest that these should be in a > text assert instead. > > example given: > Actual: > at_supports_005.html > non-matching @media within @supports should not apply > at_supports_009.html > Negations of failing simple conditions in @supports should pass > > Proposals: > <title>CSS Test (Conditional Rules): Non-matching @media within > @supports</title> > <title>CSS Test (Conditional Rules): Negations of failing simple > conditions in @supports</title> > > You want the title text to just list, to just mention the "ingredients" > of a test. > Eg. > <title>CSS Test: absolute position - bottom offset with percentage > unit</title> > > and you want the test assert text to describe or explain the > purpose/goal/target of the test. The assert text is aiming at the > reviewer, advanced testers, a spec careful reader, etc. I'll do it, but this isn't nearly as mechanical as the other changes you asked for, so I'll do it later. > Also, keep in mind that the flag invalid will indicate that a syntax or > particular code should not succeed, should be ignored, should not work, > should not "pass", etc. I used it on TCs which were still expected to work and display a filled green square when the browser did the right thing, but contained incorrect CSS syntax, as they are testing the parser's recovery mechanism. Is that appropriate use of this flag? - Florian
