[edit] Minor cleeanup

I fixed some grammar errors and style inconsistencies.

The original author was not a native anglophone (though with excellent English ability) causing some grammar and usage errors, and a sentence style sometimes not optimal English. (Run-on sentences, several of which I broke up.) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rrostrom (talk • contribs) 23:24, 12 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] tricolor

The article states (without reference) that the tests were named for the French tricolor. But later in the article it is disclosed that there were actually 4 tests, the fourth being "Green" , and having nothing to do with the tricolor. Perhaps it's true that that was the original ratioanle, but it'd be nice to see some supporting references. Isarig 02:16, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
