I think this is the problematic part. Some conformance classes (e.g. authors/validators) should probably be excluded from the "needs tests" requirement. Authoring conformance requirements that can be checked by an automated validator can in theory be tested by writing tests for the validator. http://simon.html5.org/test/validator/attribute-values/img-usemap/just-a-hash.html is an example of such a test. -- Simon Pieters Opera Software
