Test case process and status (2009-04-15 telecon followup)

During the last week's telecon [1] we discussed the statuses used for
test cases and the process for moving test cases from submission to
approval.   This message is intended to formalize what seemed to be
consensus established on that call and is consistent with the
Conformance document.

1) Test is submitted and has no status.

2) Test is briefly reviewed by a test wrangler (Markus or myself) to
verify that all meta-data fields are complete and basic syntax checks
pass.  Then test is PROPOSED.

3a) Two tools pass proposed test - it automatically transitions to APPROVED.

3b) WG discusses test and votes to transition it to APPROVED without
two passing tools.

At (2) or (3b) ,  a test can instead be given status REJECTED.
