As Chaas has already pointed out and also on the tangent of Mr. clark, I would hesitate to deal with things in this fashion. The web like a well worn home, needs a human touch. There are so many bad examples of machine determined human things that it is surprising that we are not alloing humans to enter into the picture or at least permitting them to have equal weight. All guidelines need to be human testable so that you can if you like use a simple sentence below. -- Jonnie Apple Seed With His: Hands-On Technolog(eye)s On Aug 8, 2005, at 10:44 PM, Gregg Vanderheiden wrote: I think changing it to "and/or" is reasonable edit.

It implies that *all* tests can be done by *either* a computer *or* a person. You would probably want something more along the lines of: "Carrying out the entire series of tests will require people who understand this document. However, some (or even "a small subset of") tests can be automated / performed by computer programs." -- Patrick H.
