One of the prerequisistes for the test suite will be setting the default colours to black text on white background, link colours to blue and visited colours to purple, default font size to 16 pixels, resolution to 96dpi, and various other such changes. If tests had to handle all the various different kinds of setups, they would become ridiculously complicated and require support for much more before being able to test anything at all. > Better than testing with »color« were »display«: Hide »PASS« for > non-compliant browsers and »FAIL« for compliant browsers.
