I understand that some tests might be incorrect while the spec is in
development. But if you're going to advertise an APP Test Suite to the
world, the tests have to be backed up with the consensus reflected in
the draft. I found errors in almost every test, so I removed most of
them (though they live on in SVN history, of course). For example, the
test suite claimed that all deletions MUST be met with a 200 status
code. That is quite obviously incorrect.

I also dispute that the test suite should dictate expected status
codes and the sort of content a server must accept. That seems to miss
the point of REST and HTTP.
