First draft of test plan for widgets

Hi,

As per my ACTION-61, I've started to work on test plan for Widgets P&C:
http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets/tests/plan.html (based on
http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/2006/waf/widgets/tests/plan.html )

To build it, I went through the following steps:
 1. extract the test assertions from the widgets spec through the XSLT I
developed last week [1]
 2. separate them depending on which class of product they apply (User
Agent, Conformance Checker, Zip Archive, Config file [the latter two
being somewhat bogus IMO])
 3. for each of them, guess whether we already have one or more tests
cases for the corresponding assertion
 4. for those where we don't (red background in the test case column),
propose a possible way to test the said assertion
 5. in the last column, some comments e.g. when the assertion seems too
generic to be tested, redundant, or when the feature cannot really be
tested in a strict P&C context

Step 3. was done mostly on my fuzzy recollection of the current content
of the test suite - I'm hoping I've missed many cases where we in fact
already have test cases.

I don't think I have all the useful test assertions (in step 1.), since
quite a few of them don't use the conformance keywords (e.g. when
describing what user agents should do when parsing big chunk of
configuration files - hopefully we can complete that over time as we
find missing stuff.

Kai, could you take a pass at the document, and update it based on your
much better knowledge of the test suite and of the spec?

Hopefully, we can make this document ready enough for starting to split
out the work during our call next week, and invite others to contribute
to it on public-webapps.
