That may evolve to 'who profits/bills for testing services'. It can be a profitable business. In the US, we try to punt these activities off to NIST. In a global market, I don't know who gets to bell the cat (approve the allocation of the test mark). Although the W3C would be the authoritative owner, nothing says they can't delegate the testing. len From: Bob Foster [mailto:bob@o...] Jonathan Robie wrote: > A W3C standard can't become a Recommendation without implementations. > It's useful to have tests that show what has been correctly implemented, > so that we can demonstrate that there really are implementations. Yes. It would also be useful if those tests were used to develop W3C-sanctioned test marks, so the marketplace would have some way to tell, except by painful experience, which products actually implement the recommendations.
