I was at the SGMLOpen summer workshop and while I remember this being
discussed, I don't remember an agreement to build a test suite. In fact, I
think the work involved was deemed too scary. Conformance criteria is
another thing, but again, I wouldn't expect a major contribution on this
real quick. I could be wrong on this, I left early and am not a core
player in that group ... maybe someone else is listening in??
What this problem needs is a doctoral candidate who is already accustomed
to poverty and who would be happy with the fame.
