Other people could verify that it works on other platforms -- perhaps after attaching the patch you could mail this list and ask people to check it :) Then again if it's simply a matter of generating additional HTML text (as opposed to styling/rendering issues) then it should be straightforward to verify that the new content is added in the generated files without worrying about other platforms.
