Most test suites are designed to test whether an >implementation is compliant with some spec, not interoperable with >another implementation. > | Yes. Non-compliant implementations may be interoperable. However, without determining compliance first, the implementations may be interoperating with incorrect results. Thus, we advocate that compliance be determined before interoperability.
