I was looking for "test assertion" in the W3C Glossary and I found 3  
references.
http://www.w3.org/2003/glossary/keyword/All/?keywords=test%20assertion

* First definition comes from "Specification Guidelines" version  
2003-05-16
"A set of premises that are known to be true by definition in the spec."

* Second from the final version of the document
"A measurable or testable statement of behavior, action, or  
condition. It is derived from the specification's requirements."


Suggestion:
	- When a definition is available in a last version of a document  
just display this one or put them in a thread ordered by date from  
most recent to oldest.

	* test assertion
	  "Last definition" - date
	        - previous def 1
                 - previous def 2

Another thing I have noticed that will not be solvable for legacy  
documents, but could be improved for future one is to encourage the  
use of "id" for definitions.

Maybe it could be encouraged in manual of style, to use a unique id.  
So it's possible to point to the definition from outside and that W3C  
Glossary provides a link to this id.

Dom,
I haven't found a page where it is explained for editors how to  
create the right markup for their document.
http://www.w3.org/2003/03/glossary-project/analysis#datamodel
  This is the only information I have found  about it. Maybe you  
would volunteer to write a Weblog entry giving the markup and  
explaining simply without too many details how the system is working.
