If something is a MUST in the spec, then the test is REQUIRED - i.e. REQUIRED tests are an indication of spec conformance. Whether particular tests (or particular instantiations of results) are necessary for CR on any given spec is, I think, orthogonal (and in fact the CR requirements are different depending on optionality - 2 impls for optional vs. 4 for required...). Of course we need that information, but it seems like a totally separate thing. Can we just arrange the tests by spec and requiredness, then have a separate table for CR criteria? That way we'd keep everything clear and allow the tests to be more useful into the future as well. --G
