kmc, jack, jdm, eatkinson, azita, tikue, simonsapin, pcwalton, brson

jack: reftests landed and we should require tests for things that can be tested
(some discussion)
jdm: are we agreed that we should require reftests when possible?
all: yes
jack: what is contenttest?
jdm: it's like gecko's mochitest. it has a harness and some asserts to test various scripting things.
pcwalton: we dont' use mochikit do we?
jdm: no
jack: does it currently work, or is it out of date? does it run as part of make?
jdm: it is almost up to date, and it can be automated.

jack: what's left to do on floats?
pcwalton: we don't have clear.
eatkinson: mixing floats and text doens't work yet.
simonsapin: do we have margin collapsing?
eatkinson: no
pcwalton: is that in acid1?
jack: perhaps. there are some margins.
simonsapin: margin collapse is only in block direction, so top and bottom.
jack: based on screenshot, it looks like we're calculating (margin widths?) wrong. ...
pcwalton: let's get bugs open on all of the problems we can identify. this is valuable.
(some discussion of problems apparent in acid1 screenshot)

jdm: i'm starting to look into the various segfaults. i'm taking the easiest path, which requires ~8 lines of changes to spidermonkey. it uses reserved slots and then reserves more slots when possible.
jack: is it in a state where others can help?
jdm: not quite yet, but i can publish it to a branch if others want to look at it.
