For the purposes of the test suite, I think it would be reasonable to create a set of tests that assume that the implementations are attempting to implement the "expected" rendering described in the rendering section. In particular, I would expect that all the browser implementations we test that have a chance of reaching 100% compliance first will be in that category, so for the purposes of moving us past CR that should be fine. Which is to say, for the purposes of the test suite I would just treat the "expected to" terminology in the rendering section as having the strength of RFC2119 MUST statements.
