No. In other > words, simply downloading the .cf files from that URL and plonking them over > the top of the existing 3.0.4 rulesets? No. Would that cause any problems? Yes, the stock rules make use of code from EvalTests.pm. The functions available through that file are not the same in 3.0.4 and 3.1.0. > The > advantage would be being able to use the new and/or modified rules from > 3.1.x in order to get better scoring results. So upgrade. You'll not only get the stronger rules, but you'll get the code improvements too. Often times code improvements (changes to the HTML parser, etc) have a more dramatic effect on accuracy than changes to the rules alone. > But I'm not sure if there are > new types of rule in 3.1.x which would not work with 3.0.x and would cause > 3.0.x to stop working or something.
