Indeed. I'd note that RubySpec can handle platform or implementation
specific tests, but I'm really only interested in implementation
independent tests.

Indeed, I should have pointed out the historic aspec of test/*. It
looks like you feel that, today and for the developers that can, many
tests would ideally be added to RubySpec, is this what you mean?

Also, I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by "w.r.o."? I'll not that
the {Developer|Committer}HowTo wikis gives information on how to
update and run the RubySpec and that http://rubyspec.org has extensive
documentation.

Thanks,
