I agree with Jukka that the wording "Tentatively passed" is not
a good idea.

Code positions not defined in ISO-8859-1 or Windows-1252
(such as 0x90 = 144) should be listed as errors - as it is done
in version 0.8.2. In the qa-dev version, they are not listed
as errors.

True - but this is only the heading. There is a rather longish explanation
consisting of three (!) paragraphs with reference to Alan Flavell's
pages, etc. I think this explanation (in the current version 0.8.2)
is okay.
