It is up to the policies at submitting organization to decide that but it is a good practice and sometimes dumb mistakes can be eliminated early. As for review for approval as an official W3C test case... That approval should be done by a person outside the submitting organization to eliminate any conflict of interest or common assumptions that may occur due to the working relationships within an organization. -- Thanks, Arron Eicholz
