How do we test a Web browser?
Testing all possible Web browsers out there is hard and requires more effort than one organization can afford by itself. The idea of increasing the level of Web browser testing done in W3C is to involve the community at large as much as possible. If we really want an interoperable Web, that's what W3C should move to.

Valid sites work better(?)
I learned to write standard-compliant Web pages when the likely alternative was “the browser will likely crash on your tag soup”. In an age of graceful error recovery, does it still matter to produce valid code? Share your stories here.

Once Upon A Time, Web Standards Curriculum
Once upon a time, we started the Quality Assurance activity at W3C in 2001, one of the objectives was to find a way to improve the materials for communicating with Web developers. In the QA group, Snorre M. Grimsby (Opera) told me that we might find resources for producing educational materials. The discussion became quiet for a while and restarted in June 2006 with David Storey (Opera). As the same time, some people at WASP started a survey for defining requirements for a Web Standards Curriculum.

Pre-Obsolete Design
Creating a specification is a challenge and a compromise. Far to be perfect it is an attempt at establishing stability for a little while. The difficulty is often how long?
