Submission process ideas

["G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@CraneSoftwrights.com>]

The following ideas were captured regarding submission process and practice:

  - prefer atomic tests for 1.0
    - target specific language issues, not composite issues
    - consider others later
  - committee reserves right to exclude any test submitted
  - prefer no "should" decisions for 1.0 suite of tests
    - target only explicit processor choices, not unspecified areas of 
Recommendations
  - test identification:
    - use test file hierarchy
    - base hierarchy on root directory of submitter
    - submitter welcome to arrange subdirectories as they wish
    - each test will have a unique identifier as well
    - each submitter will be assigned a unique identifier
    - final test identifier will be concatenation of submitter and test ids
  - test scope will be identified by Recommendation and date
    - of recommendation itself
    - of modified date of errata document
