Back in the day, the vision was to have anchors in the specs for every requirement, so that interested parties would have a full coverage report, so that it would be easy to verify that every requirement had at least a test, and so that it would be easy to see what requirement a test belonged to. In addition, there would be a test suite that tested things that weren't in the spec, like HTTP interpretations. Just having a test suite that ticks a box when all tests pass does not have much to offer for people wishing to see evidence of actual interop before they dive in, then, they would have to first write their app, and then see if it works with all servers. I wouldn't have made that investment to be frank. I would like to see coverage reports, what parts of the spec are covered and what are not covered, I would like to see linked a full test report where each test is explained for every server. That would be actually transparent. And I note that we did have this more or less implemented for the protocol spec. Coverage wasn't great, and things were so much in flux back then that it was too early to publish full reports, but the functionality was more or less there. Kind regards, Kjetil
