Re: DOM Level 1 HTML TS

Hi Siva

Thanks, sounds good.

If you ned any help in the meanwhile, just send an email to the list. 
Also, check with the list for the most appropriate form to submit the 
tests to the CVS (you could either send them in zipped form to the 
submission list and have one of the moderators submit them for you if 
all are ready at once, or submit them yourselves which would mean we 
have to create an extra account. Logistics..)
