What exactly are >you testing here? It would be nice to have every detail spelled out. Yes, it would, and some day (perhaps soon) we'll deliver those details. For now, though, I have to assume that users will be able to decipher my meaning and tell me if I'm right or not. You bring up a larger issue, though, in that a couple of sections will need to be fleshed out. Box properties probably need the most work, but colors and backgrounds are another target. Remember that the bulk of these pages started life as a set of pages I created for myself-- and upon which, incidentally, I based the compatibility charts at Web Review-- and so I could assume that I would know what I meant. As we go public, some of this will have to be cleared up. This will get a yellow flag on the fix-list, which means I have check into wording, but not the facts behind the assertions. The fix-list will be publicly available soon, so that people can see where each page stands (and challenge the status, if necessary). A link will appear on the main test suite page when it's ready to go. -- Eric A.
