Hi Bart, (and Rob as the author of that mail you point to),

> http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/odf-adoption/200804/msg00014.html

I had missed that posting until now (I am not in OASIS yet, I guess I
should be), but I think this is a sling in the right direction. Probably
Rob's basic idea is somewhat different than mine here, but of course the
scope of the new group is yet to be decided.

I personally would love to see a single test document. The Acid tests
are known for their conciseness and the fact that they don't require
anything but a) the browser and b) the test document. The immediate
necessity is the same however: after many years of CSS people could
still not quantify how well applications perform. I think it is
important that the application people use and/or build can be assessed
within minutes - without changes to the applications. A really thorough
'smoke test' at the hands of the end user, to stay within the lingo.

Best,
