Carmelo, I would be interested to hear details.  What is added-on to the 
specs and how?  Do you point from the test suite to test assertions in the 
spec?  Do you point by section number, or by Xpointer-like address, or by 
element (id), or ...?  Do you also extract the test assertion text (into 
the test suite), or just point?

A brief summary along these lines would be interesting.

Thanks,
