I think testing all GUI with lots of realworld browsers is a bit too much work 
for me -- especially since I have convenient access only to Konqueror and 
Mozilla. 

I'm not exactly sure what problems with HTML you mean. The only thing I've 
noticed is that one element has class of qmtest_fail, instead of 
qmtest_unexpected. After this is fixed, change in color is a matter of 
editing css -- which is precisely what I've done. 

The only problem is that I have no idea how to override part of css by browser 
settings -- which I'll try to figure out.
