RE: AccName question

At this time, I'm only referring to the testing script, but we might have to clarify something in 1.2 later if this is confusing to people.

Hey Bryan.

If by prototype you mean the tool you created for the purpose of testing and validating test cases, I have no objection whatsoever. It's your tool, and a most awesome tool at that!

If you mean anything else, especially if it potentially involves making changes to any of our specs or note-track documents, then we should file an issue against those documents.

Thanks!
