Focusing strictly on 5.3 certainly makes my job (and others working on TestFest 2010) easier but I wasn't aware that anyone was even entertaining this. This is obviously not strictly on point with this discussion and I don't think a divergence from the main topic is appropriate at this moment. But it underscores the importance that we will be much better off hashing this out sooner rather than later as things in the near future will certainly bear significant effects. As this thread winds down and consensus is reached, I'll bring this particular topic up again on the QA List with a discussion based on results of late events. Eric Lee Stewart
