Don't get me wrong - testing is important, just not today while we're trying to get a[n overdue] draft out the door. Correct functioning against a reference implementation would be a good start.
Sam, thanks for clarifying the process.
I didn't mean to imply that we need to work on compliance tests now, I'm just wondering if this is a deliverable we will provide at some point, and whether or not it will be available "in time" to help spec implementors.
It would definitely be nice to have, and the reference implementation we have today is for the server side interface (that is, only useful for testing clients). It's not on our official list of deliverables though - I'm fairly confident the interop problems will be with the data interchange format(s), as is the case today (OVF isn't really working as intended just yet). Thanks for the feedback - do you have any thoughts about the interface itself? Sam
