Right, so in the absence of tests that *need* bigger viewports, I'd side w/
David and say that we should fix tests to fit within 800x600 so that they
are portable to other browsers and meet the W3C's criteria. Looking at the
entire page would be a bad idea, as it would let us tolerate non-conformant
tests.
