Re. new Test data: What does everyone think about adding the following?

A post with a REALLY long title. Something like, "If you say it loud
enough, you'll always sound precocious;
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!" I find it useful for testing
title line heights and potential overflow issues on posts with small
title areas where REALLY long words might break the layout.

And something like these three test pages Matt Thomas used on the 2010dev site:

Having (sometimes little-used) HTML elements appear in a readable
format--rather than a list of elements--makes it much easier to spot
styling errors. Especially in the case of <sup> and <sub> which really
need to be seen in action (as they are here).

http://2010dev.wordpress.com/image-alignment-and-styles/
The addition of a way-too-large-for-almost-every-content-area image
would make this page perfect.

http://2010dev.wordpress.com/readability/
It's really easy to forget that you're designing a tool for
communication and it's nice to actually try and read the content
you're styling. This page is perfect for that.
