I was at the SGMLOpen summer workshop and while I remember this being 
discussed, I don't remember an agreement to build a test suite.  In fact, I 
think the work involved was deemed too scary.  Conformance criteria is 
another thing, but again, I wouldn't expect a major contribution on this 
real quick.  I could be wrong on this, I left early and am not a core 
player in that group ... maybe someone else is listening in??

What this problem needs is a doctoral candidate who is already accustomed 
to poverty and who would be happy with the fame.
