I'm glad you wrote it up. Thanks! But I feel like the folks behind the HTML5 spec and the comprehensive test suite deserve the lion's share of the credit for this (very neat) achievement.
Most projects don't have a detailed spec at the outset. Decades of experience have shown that trying to build a detailed spec upfront does not work out well for a vast class of projects. And many projects don't even have a comprehensive test suite when they go into production!
