I believe that the CSS unlike the ssdf do not test with public books but from
predefined positions.

Of course it is very logical to wait to Rybka1.2 but the reason is not waiting
for book and learning.

The reason is that they can test limited number of programs in the next months
and it is better if they test other things and not only rybka versions.
