I was asked to do them, *shrug*. It's an internal thing.

Why do you want that? Yes, I *did* a form objects one to make
sure form objects work properly.

You'd never see them though even if I did them. The only get
done when there's a need for extensive testing of a part of V,
such as Javascript or form submission. And they only get used
by people with access to the tests. Your testing is the stuff of
the real world - if you find a site that breaks, I tend to isolate
the code that breaks into a testcase (so that it isn't muddied
by 1000 lines of extra debug output or Javascript) and
someone goes at fixing it.

WRT CSS - well it might be a good idea to get the browser to
a stable state and have enough JS implemented to get through
the day without throwing an unecessary error first ;)

Thanks
