I'm having trouble decoding what you're saying.  Those assignments can't be config lines,
not being legitimate any any context I'm thinking of.  Are they just assertions of content or variables?
In which case, how do you know?  What tests have you actually performed?  What are yuo actually
doing, that it not working as expected?
