I wouldn't consider the specifics of those tests as being significant right now, as they were sort of top-of-the head tests Andy and I came up with very early on. The output of your processor may be a better basis for the expected values now, certainly will be more useful than what's in the repo right now.

If you have more tests, it would be great to get them added to the repository; there's nothing there now that exercises any of the external metadata mechanisms, for example.

I think your repository is the proper place for this. I'm working on my own implementation, and will maintain it as part of the Ruby RDF suite.
