We have given those use cases a different title and thus the previously made
decisions were acceptable, since the error case was put in a different class
and thus matched the other  error cases in that class. Jack was happy with
that. That should close this objection.

We have further discussed in detail how we can structure the test cases
along two axes and Michael will give it a go to create a table that
incorporates all the use cases. If he could find a tool that helps him
create the table, that would be useful (with text overlays etc).

Hope this clarifies it.

Cheers,
Silvia.
