Hi Michael, > Wondering if someone ever has looked at [1] - please tell me what > information is missing there ... I think it looks excellent! It's a shame that it doesn't seem to be linked to from anywhere that gives it any status. > And yes, Manu's Test Harness is based on the manifest document, which is, > btw, per RDFa TF decision the only normative source ;) Right. I think it's probably because I'm in XForms conformance mode, at the moment, that's making me think there is a bit of a gap here. Over in 'XForms-world' we're getting very close to XForms 1.1 conformance across a number of implementations. The way those implementations are testing themselves is via the test-suite. This is available here: <http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/Test/XForms1.1/Edition1/driverPages/html/> and includes a zip file: <http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/Test/XForms1.1/Edition1/zip/> You can get to that test-suite from a test-suite page, which links to all of the XForms test-suites: <http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/Test/> And that page is in turn linked to from the top of the XForms home-page: <http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/> Anyway, having spent a couple of months automating tests for the XForms implementation I've been working on, I thought I might use all of the techniques I've 'honed' to automate the testing of my RDFa parser. But if you try to go through the same kind of steps to find a test-suite in 'RDFa-world' as you would go through in 'XForms-world', you don't seem to arrive at a clear picture of exactly which tests you should be using. It's true that there is a link to Manu's test harness in the RDFa syntax document, but that's described as a 'sample test harness', rather than something definitive, so it still leaves you uncertain as to where you would find the definitive 'raw' tests.
