These are good points Aryeh. I was thinking a test suite was more like 
"group property" but it does make sense to designate one or more persons 
to be responsible for a test suite. By default, that responsibility 
should be the spec Editor(s) (and possibly others) and if that is 
problematic, Charles or I can be designated. This would also address the 
TBD re "should we create a bugzilla component per test suite" -> yes, 
each spec will have its own test suite component in Bugzilla (e.g. 
ProgressEvents-testsuite).

I think all of the substantive comments to date only affect the proposed 
Approval page. I'll notify the list after I've reworked that document to 
reflect the comments.

Thanks again, I think this will result in a simpler and clearer process.
