Matus, this particular point was just out of my curiosity, nothing more than that. I just wanted to understand the reason for prefixing file names with 10,20,30,etc. when it can be just actual rule names as file name like head_tests.cf, html_tests.cf, etc.

There may be reasons to apply the rules files in a particular order, esp. for setting scores (e.g. set default scores, override with masscheck-generated scores, then override the scores that masscheck does a poor job on with manually-assigned scores).

I think it's touched on in the SA wiki, read the pages of developing new rules.
