Hi!

The test suite for mobile browsers as available on

   http://dev.w3.org/2008/mobile-test/doc.html

has a bug in the test of the contentEditable attribute: It performs the 
following check

   if (document.getElementById('editable').contentEditable == true) {
         document.getElementById("editable").style.background="green";
   }

but contentEditable is defined to return a *string* and not a boolean. So 
this have to be

    if (document.getElementById('editable').contentEditable == "true") {
         document.getElementById("editable").style.background="green";
    }
