PrerequisitesBrowsers that are subjected to this test should support CSS1 and the CSS2 table model.

0. Control

The following four tests should look identical, namely, like this:

This text should be white on black, bold, twice the size of normal text, and sans serif.

There are some minor exceptions, however. The x.1 tests should fill the viewport width, the other tests need not. Also, browsers attempting to have backwards compatibility with the buggy behaviour of legacy browsers may omit to inherit the color and font-size in 1.1, which will make 1.1 (but only 1.1) unreadable. That is the problem with not following the specs.
