What I don't see here, which I expected to see, are values for:

1) "normative source", i.e, the authority for this assertion
2) "prescription level", e.g., mandatory, preferred, etc.

These are discussed the TAG specification.  Are they not in the draft TA 
schema?  I think that we really need those as part of the test assertion.

I like your predicates.  They are short and succinct.  If we wanted to we 
could be more verbose.  But is it worth it?  For example, you have 
currently:

ID: odf11-metadata-dc-creator-write 
Prerequisite: A new document has been created and saved by a single 
person. 
Predicate: The dc:creator element contains the name of the person who 
created the document. 

A more detailed predicate might be:

Predicate: The saved document package contains a meta.xml file containing 
exactly one dc:creator element which contains the name of the person who 
created the document.

Or maybe we simply have a different TA to handle the structure of the ZIP 
file, and another  TA to handle schema validation?  In that case we only 
need to hand-craft TA's for constraints that are not already expressed by 
the schema.  That is probably simpler.

I think the main thing is to add support for Normative Source and 
Prescription Level.
