You could call it a professional nitpick, but as a tester I'm not allowed to make assumptions... "to assume is to make an a3 out of U and me." :)
So if something is not described or documented, we either have to ask what the additional information is, or we ignore it, and in the latter case, we can only say that it seems to work, but we can't make a clear judgement on the quality of the product because not all specs are clear. :)
If it were to be documentation for coders and testers, I'd expect to see something like this (my addition is marked bold):
"This page is a test of using JavaScript to show and hide a table row. This technique should work on all browsers that support JavaScript.
If your browser supports JavaScript, then the table below should display two rows labeled "table row 1" and "table row 3". The first row should also have a link that reads "show next row". Clicking on that link should display table row 2 between table row 1 and table row 3 and replace the link with one reading "hide next row". Clicking on that link should bring you back to the original state of the page and table.
The page should degrade gracefully on non-JavaScript browsers. In that situation, the table should show all three rows and there should be no links for showing/hiding any table rows. "
You were fairly complete, only missing the part about where that second row would appear. And in this case it was pretty clear what was meant, and I was really just nitpicking ;), but for instance when it comes to premium calculations of an insurance, we can all agree that one minor omission in the documentation of these calculations could lead to catastrophic results. (a missing decimal-sign or a mistake in the calculations, or simply no documentation on it)
