Bug tracking

Could I suggest that you consider using the W3C bugzilla database for
tracking bugs against the Schema test suite? This is how XQTS have operated
and it's hard to see how they would have managed without it. I'm going to be
reporting a large number of bugs, and it's going to be very difficult to
track progress in resolving them if it's all done by informal email.

A CVS repository that allows fixed tests to be downloaded as soon as they
are available would also be a great boost.

In reporting test results, the only test results allowed by the schema
appear to be "valid" and "invalid". It would also be useful to allow "not
run" for cases where the processor was unable to run the test (e.g. because
it ran out of memory), and "test bug reported" to indicate that a bug has
been reported against the test in question.
