Hi All:

The scope of a conformance test file should be circumscribe to what is
actually published
in the specs (XSLT or XPATH or an errata).   Any type of behavior that is
not stated in the
specs is most likely above and beyond the scope of the specs and any tests
that
addresses such behavior can not be considered a conformance test as far as
addressing conformance to the specs.  Only statements (or behavior) that can
actually
be trace back to the standards should be the focus of our suite.

We are developing tests here at NIST.  Those tests will be available to the
committee
as soon as a complete se is finish.

Greetings,
Carmelo
