do we ever need a test suite?

[Mary P McRae]

In fact, SGMLOpen has begun to gather preliminary requirements for such a
test suite. A subcommittee has been formed as part of the technical
committee and chartered with the task of developing a set of conformance
criteria and test suites for XML processors.

If anyone on this list is a member of SGMLOpen (or an employee of a member
company or organization) your input would be greatly appreciated.
