The first principle of W3C CSS test suites is: Valid Tests. http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/testsuitedocumentation#validtests Tests should _only_ be invalid if they are specifically testing error conditions that require invalidity. It doesn't sound like from your question that <embed> is being used to test to make sure <embed> doesn't work since it is not a valid HTML tag. ;-) I am proposing that the HTML test suites adopt these same principles. I am surprised that the SVG test suite would have invalid tests. Tantek
