I didn't comment about possibility thereof. I merely inquired what testing had been done, on the assumption that such testing has in fact been done. No insult was intended, by any means. If you don't wish to discuss the issue, that is, of course, your prerogative, but please don't brush it off with "we know how to find test suites and read specifications." I'm sure that the members of all the browser development teams out there know how to read specifications and find test suites, and a number of the members of such teams have contributed to the CSS specification, yet some of the rendering engines involved have serious problems with large parts of the specification (including, in particular, the inline model). Again, I'm not suggesting that Adobe's engine suffers from these problems, and, as I said in my original mail, I am assuming that rigorous testing has been performed on this engine to ensure that it does not. All I asked for was confirmation that my assumptions are correct. -Boris
