Okay, so I tried using DS with the 'conn' test, and that worked fine (the page
went yellow).

Slightly worrying is that the default message which shows the rule to be used
is restricted to only 2 decimal places. The code reads the value as a 'double',
but just displays it to 2 places. (So, in my case using a rule of '>0.0007' it
showed on the web page as '>0.00'. Using a rule of '0.007' (one less 0), this
was shown as '>0.01' - so it rounded it up.)
A minor point probably, just a little confusing when trying to force a result
using a very small value.
