We'll also point users to the Avalon Testlet from the pages. > JSUnit while usable, isn't ideal for a relative novice who wants to determine > how well a browser adheres to the recommendations. > Ideally, they could point their browser at a URL and run the tests without > any setup. IMHO, this should be on main goal. A user should be able to direct his user agent at an URI, and sees if it is in conformance with the test suite. Once we get this ability, it is easy to do the same "offline", i.e. the user downloads a set of files and starts them from his own computer. I wonder if it is possible to test the Adobe SVG plugin DOM implementation with our system. Philippe [1] http://www.w3.org/QA/WG
