Okay, so I'll dump the SQL dump idea. :)

I'll make sure I add instructions to add "Test Author" as User ID 2, which 
should facilitate the data import, and preserve the bypostauthor comment 
classes.

I'll tidy up the image tests, and put them all in one post (as I did with the 
layout tests). So, we'll have "Layout Test", "Images Test", and "Readability 
Test".

I've added a "Readability Test" (paying homage to James Barrie):

What am I missing, aside from a Definition List? I'm pretty sure I've captured 
every other relevant HTML element. Let me know if I've missed any.
