What exactly do you mean with 'functional' tests? We certainly don't need non-functional tests! ;) And why would additional test scripts throw off the coverage numbers?

I had assumed you were measuring unit test coverage, but maybe there are lots of functional tests in Lib/test too.

BTW, I had a look at your coverage page, and it looked as if it would be useful and interesting, if I understood what all those little graphs &c. were. :-/
