[xslt-conformance] Re: FYI: CSS Test Suite Documentation

[david_marston@us.ibm.com]

This was an interesting read, though not necessarily likely to affect
us too much. They don't "support" (i.e., aid and abet) test automation,
and I'm not sure how they deal with a "molecular" test that checks the
interaction of two features from different sections of the spec.

At a more general level, this document is a clear example of another
concern in documenting test suites. The document about the test suite
MUST state any requirements or constraints on the person acting as the
tester. The CSS test suite evidently requires manual testing with a
visual (conventional) browser by a person with certain visual faculties
intact (must not be color-blind, etc.) and the ability to comprehend the
written language (English?) of certain sentences that will appear on the
screen. This is not to say that the WG violated W3C accessibility
guidelines, only that the test suite itself is not fully accessible.
