Linking to assertions from test suite

Hi all,

I'm wondering if we should link to assertions made in the test files. 
See an example I made for "translate" at
http://htmlpreview.github.com/?https://raw.github.com/finnle/ITS-2.0-Testsuite/master/its2.0/testSuiteDashboard.html#tests-current-state-details

E.g.
translate10xml.xml 
<http://htmlpreview.github.com/?https://raw.github.com/finnle/ITS-2.0-Testsuite/master/its2.0/inputdata/translate/xml/translate10xml.xml> 

Global - Linked rules<its:param>
(assertions: [1] 
<http://htmlpreview.github.com/?https://raw.github.com/finnle/ITS-2.0-Testsuite/master/its2.0/testSuiteDashboard.html#translate-global> 
[2] 
<http://htmlpreview.github.com/?https://raw.github.com/finnle/ITS-2.0-Testsuite/master/its2.0/testSuiteDashboard.html#link-external-rules> 
[3] 
<http://htmlpreview.github.com/?https://raw.github.com/finnle/ITS-2.0-Testsuite/master/its2.0/testSuiteDashboard.html#its-param>) 
(expected) 
<http://htmlpreview.github.com/?https://raw.github.com/finnle/ITS-2.0-Testsuite/master/its2.0/expected/translate/xml/translate10xmloutput.txt>

The content of "assertions" is generated from the master test suite file:
<inputfile location="inputdata/translate/xml/translate10xml.xml">
<description assertions="translate-global link-external-rules 
its-param">Global - Linked rules&lt;its:param&gt;</description>... 
</inputfile>

It has some value to make explicit what is actually being tested. But if 
we want to do that, we need to add the assertion IDs (= IDs from the 
ITS2 spec) to the "assertions" attributes. I did that for all 
"translate" files and it took about 1/2 hour.

Thoughts?

Best,

Felix
