Re: Test cases framework

Answering Mark, the process that I am using is already functional for 
everyone with tool support from TopBraid Composer (Free Edition) 5.2. 
Just place the test files into the workspace, open the Test Cases view 
and press the run button as described in 
http://datashapes.org/testcases.html

While I personally find this tool support and format very convenient 
(including the ability to create new tests with a single button click), 
I am of course too biased to promote or push this format further. 
However, it should be easy to write translators between the officially 
proposed test format and the one in the dash namespace. So if the WG 
officially decides on the format, I will provide such a translator 
because I'll need it myself.
