OK. So reading between the lines, I'm getting
the impression that one of the important goals of an Acid-type test would
be that it can be run by anyone -- end users, journalists, i.e., non-geeks.
They don't need to first download and install a JDK, ant, and a dozen
XML tools first. They just load the document in their editor and
see how it looks. But we may also have another set of tests (I've
been calling them 'atomic tests') that are targeted to vendors and testing
labs.
