In the current state, they cannot even be run. I have an active task on my plate to review the current coverage and make sure it still tests something in the spec, and then build out new tests for what is there. I really hope that by adding tests for each chapter, we will drive stability. > > To test the fundamentals of the protocol, I feel the test harness needs major > work to allow the granularity needed ensure compatibility with the > specification. > Interesting.

I agree, but I do think that having tests can help clarify and drive the conversation.
