Whether one or the other is yet to be decided, and may be done on a per-suite basis. > and are you planning on including test cases for languages that are > not specified by the W3C? Right now the scope I have in mind is to have tests for languages covered by our conformance testing tools. That includes a number of languages developed at W3C (HTML family, CSS etc) and possibly others (Atom/RSS would be welcome here, as we are hosting an instance of the feed validator already). It should not be implied that any test suite will be automatically hosted at W3C - if only because I'm not sure a test suite without reasonable maintaining resources are of any interest. However, the software will be open source and groups/orgs wishing to use it to manage their test suite for FooML will be welcome to do so on their own servers. Hope this answers your questions. -- olivier
