I have reviewed Su-Laine's article below in the past, and I had
no problems with it.

I am not sure just what was discussed or decided, but I have concerns
as I indicated briefly in my email at
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita-adoption/201004/msg00014.html
to which there was no reply.  I would want to be part of any further
discussions about any test suite and/or certification thoughts that
this TC may have.  I'm not convinced that this TC's time and effort
would be best spent with such things.
