This discussion is about the QA framework documents and their
"mandatoriness" as they related working groups. "It wouldn't make much
sense to have the QA Framework be promoted to a
W3C Recommendation, since it only or mostly concerns W3C internal
functioning. Provided that it will finish as a set of Notes, how do we
want these notes to be used and especially enforced" ?

During the period of this summary a large amount of time was spent
revewing and updating the Test Specification document. A couple
of different issues, like overall document organization and clarification
of checkpoint are discussed in these threads. This also included
a discussion about the terms "Discretionary" and "Intentionally vague"
as they apply to developing testable assertions from a specification.
