Not necesarily have to be "added to the specs" themelves. I was
thinking more along the lines of a separate XML instance that may
gather
information from the specs and that information be fed into the
test generation engine. Whether or not Xpointers, or element (id),
or
something else is used to extract (or point to) information will depend
on the type and quantity of information available. Sometimes Xpointers
tend to address rather specific areas, which may not contain enough
information to either develop the test or the assertion.
