I still have no responses. Any objections?

I also propose that we adopt a *FixtureTest convention, like 
*OnlineTest, to make fixtures more easily recognised. I do not propose 
any changes to the build procedure at this time, so this is a relaxation 
of the requirement that all online-resource-based tests be marked as 
*OnlineTest. The intent is that *FixtureTest will be on the local 
network or otherwise under the control of a developer, and so these 
fixture configuration files will not be portable to other developers. 
This contrasts with *OnlineTest, which can access public resources.
