Ok, according to the date header that's -0800 offset so it's now  11:30 (approx)
in utc, which should make it 03:30 in the morning for you?

Hmmm, any idea what time/how you'd be online to work? Any preference as to IM
clients etc?

Agreed, I like the set of tests method personally, particularly seeing as how
many devs seem to take a "I'll use it like this because it works" approach to the spec which means that one could only end up implementing a partial "fix"
and miss some important use-cases.

I'm going to take a look at acid3 I think and see what I can find.
