I certainly did not mean my statement to be interpreted as you just did.
I meant that BPSS and BP Protocol people should define test cases,
in collaboration with the IIC group in the sense of getting some tips
and using the IIC test framework, such as it is.

Nor did I mean "specification work" in the sense of more
spec document language, except that tests are in one
sense executable specs.

But if people want an unambiguous idea of what a BSI
is supposed to do, test cases will give it to them.

I subscribe to the IIC list and would have posted there if I meant
for them to do it.
