Re: [Enum] ENUM Test Specificatiobns

Hi Tony, Jim, folks,
  as the other half of that particular double act, I can chime in here.

Tony - you should know better :). There was a VSGN chap at the plugtest
and he therefore has the final report, in which the tests we ran are  
listed.

I should point out that these broke everyone's implementations, but the
clueful fixed theirs during the tests. We didn't go to the South of  
France
to sun ourselves - we were stuck in a concrete dungeon, as Otmar can  
attest.
As with all real plugtests(tm), whilst Interoperation is important,  
getting
it right is better.

There was a similar issue with the first ROHC tests - everyone had  
read the
spec in the same wrong way (bit/byte order issue, as I recall), and they
all interoperated, but were all wrong. That was fixed, IIRC, during the
frantic last day of that test.

all the best,
   Lawrence
