I appreciate that you've followed the master-bug idiom which is so common in

I also would *strongly* encourage you to post your changes in as small of 
patches as possible.  Integrating features which have been developed outside 
webkit.org <http://webkit.org/>  is always difficult, but doing things in small 
(or even tiny!) patches will make your life easiest in the long run.

I'm happy to help review your (small!) changes if CC'd.

I've encouraged them to begin with the CSS property back end, i.e., getting the 
new properties and values in and parsed.  I think it will be a good 
introduction to our process to start there, and it will also let them get 
familiar with writing regression tests.  I think those patches are more easily 
reviewed by many people as well, unlike the layout and rendering changes, which 
are quite advanced.

Following this advice, we’re preparing some initial patches that only contain 
the parsing code. I have been looking for pure parsing tests to use as examples 
for the tests we will need to submit with these patches, but I haven’t yet 
found anything to go on. I’m guessing that I’m not looking in the right place, 
or (for those who have followed this patch trajectory before) initial parsing 
tests get replaced with functional tests over time.

Does anyone have an example of good parsing validation they can point me to?

Thanks,

Alan
