The W3C CSS1 test suite [1] does exactly that for the CSS1 Recommendation. For HTML, the task is harder to define since the HTML specification only gives suggestions on how to present elements and leaves most of the job to style sheets.

Not to sound paranoid, but to ask if they know what > we're talking about already. Several W3C staff members -- as well as W3C Member representatives -- read this list. Haven't you seen us around? Indeed, the public mailing lists (e.g. www-html, www-style) are important fora for discussing W3C work in progress. There are countless examples of how discussions here have influenced specifications -- and lately also test suites ;) -h&kon H å k o n W i u m L i e howcome@w3.org http://www.w3.org/people/howcome World W i d e Web Consortium
