My understanding of cases files is that they should be minimal, containing 
as little code and content as possible. Has either approach been proven 
useful in practise?

I like the idea of doing this in as simple a format as possible. Would 
CRLF-terminated lines be acceptable? Newline normalisation is easy when 
processing files; there's even a spec for it [2]. But authoring LF-only 
lines is troublesome in Windows (which I use).

A test might conform to HTML4; or HTML5; or both. Should each of these be 
represented?
