 Hello,

 

Where can I get at these tests? I'd like to give them a shot.

 

Thanks,

Subject: XML Conference Tests...

In order to test some XML Apps that I've been developing, I downloaded the XML Conference parser test suite.

 

All through the documentation for the test suite, it was made clear as to just how bad the MSXML parser is, how it doesn't conform, how it comes up with bugs that shouldn't be bugs, etc.  Nowhere was it mentioned (that I could find) what version of the MSXML parser was being tested though.

 

When I ran the entire test suite through IE5, by simply double-clicking on the XML file and opening it up.  Each file appeared to give somewhat of a correct result, i.e., all of the tests that should have failed did, and all of the test that should have passed, appeared to.  Am I missing something here?
