https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=15061 --- Comment #6 from Richard Ishida <ishida@w3.org> 2012-01-09 19:53:57 UTC --- We try to be explicit in our assertions as to whether a test is exploratory or not. Mostly, the difference is dependent on whether the test is served as html or xml, but there are a few special cases. So, for example, to check whether <meta charset='utf-8'> works in html4 as well as in html5 we have separate tests (since it's not specified by html4 and the html4 test can therefore only be seen as exploratory). A similar distinction is made, in the other direction, when testing for the effect of the charset attribute (which is not part of HTML5). You can see examples of how we map tests to formats at http://www.w3.org/International/tests/html-css/list-encoding and http://www.w3.org/International/tests/html-css/list-language (Although those pages allow you to run a test in a number of formats, we probably only want to add a few special cases to the w3c test harness.) Another example would be ruby markup, which is supposed to be supported for XHTML 1.1 only prior to HTML5, and complex ruby not even in html5.
