We do have one:

    public-ws-addressing-tests@w3.org
    http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-addressing-tests/

I found in the minutes the agreement of the WG to keep the test suite
outside the Recommendation track:

    http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/addr/5/01/31-ws-addr-minutes.html#item19

Therefore…

… this should be a link to the Test Case Grant II:

    http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/1/testgrants2-200409/

as we're in case 2 of:

Would it be useful to make this a WBS form? It could help following
the template. However, if one wanted to mass-submit test cases, direct
submission to the list would probably be best. Maybe we could have
both.
