RE: Implementation report (Was: Re: Tests)

Hi Felix,

The implementation report look good to me. I have only one question. The second numbered bullet of the section "Test Suite" says:
"for each input document a result document in the debug format which a conformant implementation needs to produce."

I'm wondering if this is correct: We do not specify any debug format in our conformance criteria, therefore a conformant does not
*need* to produce this, I think. I realize that generating that output is quite helpful for testing the implementations, but here it
sounds like a requirement.

I'm not sure how to phrase this, maybe something like "for each input document a result document in the debug format which a
conformant implementation may find useful to produce", or "for each input document a result document in the debug format used to
easily verify conformant implementations".

Cheers,
-yves

Hi Yves, all:

Many thanks for updating the page!

I like that idea.  I have updated the implementation report respectively, see
http://www.w3.org/International/its/itstagset/ImpReport.html .

Important is the sentence "The following features will be tested for all data categories:". The two bullet points take your proposal
above into account.

Please have a look at the document and give me feedback. It would be good to get feedback until Monday night (Japanese time), since
I will be on travel starting Tuesday, and we need to write the CR mail on Friday.

Cheers,

Felix
