I'm interpreting Robs response as fairly clear. the 'multiple steps' validation
is needed. In fact quite a few pieces will need stringing together.
No way that a grammar based approach can validate an instance
against the spec.

The only 'odd man out' is the pair of implementations comparison
in visual terms. Not sure if this is included (even if required!). I'm
less sure how it might be done, since ODF isn't a page description
language.

I'd propose that the outcome of this group is a meta test requirement?
The eventual document will be a test requirement indicating what needs
to be tested; this groups output should clearly state what tests need
to be included?
Clearly remaining in the 'what' domain, rather than the 'how'.
