Good point.

[dd] Also a good point.

It does.  A test or suite contain a <metadata> element that contains
elements patterned after Dublin Core.   Each test should contain several
<subject resource="uri"/> which points to specific
passages in the spec.  Transforms/subjects.xsl will produce a list of
canonical URL's for a particular spec.
