(Bcc'd public-css-testsuite; can we please keep responses on a single mailing list, in this case www-style as it's about a WG resolution?) In the SF F2F, 2016-05-09 we resolved: RESOLVED: testharness.js tests don't need a meta assert (but reftests still do) >From memory, this was based on a mistaken understanding that assertions were currently required everywhere. This seems to contradict all documentation going back almost a decade! In 2007 fantasai updated the wiki in <https://wiki.csswg.org/test/format?do=diff&rev2%5B0%5D=1184350761&rev2%5B1%5D=1186099916&difftype=sidebyside> to state that assertions are optional (generically!). I've been unable to find any discussion leading to this change, though obviously discussion was happening around then (see <https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-css-testsuite/2007Jun/0024.html> for example). Do we want to revisit the resolution in light of being mistaken as to previous policy? Or do we just want to consider the documentation wrong? /Geoffrey
