Description

I still think this is misleading on the website:

LESS runs on both the server-side (with Node.js and Rhino) or client-side (modern browsers only).

Everyone I know in web-development would assume that saying "LESS runs client-side" means it's good to go for production, when what we (currently) mean here is that you can test it in the browser.

How about:

LESS compiles on the server-side (with Node.js, Rhino, and others), or you can easily try it client-side (on modern browsers).

"Try" implying "testing"

Research direction

Locate the quoted “client-side” sentence in the less-docs website content. Update the wording so server-side compilation is distinguished from trying LESS in modern browsers, then verify the rendered documentation communicates that distinction.
