Well, I think the focus of the project should be to help people make
good tests and get as much as possible out of their effort, so as to
gather documentation about interoperability problems and thereby re-
moving these problems. From the perspective of a test author I simply
want a repository where I can copy a good test like

  <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">
  <style type="text/css">
    RECT { fill: red }
  </style>
  <rect fill="green" width="100" height="100" />
  </svg>

to; I have no interest in writing any kind of documentation for it,
categorize or organize it in any other way. A day or two after I submit
the test it would be very nice to be able to come back to the site and
see confirmation that the test is correct and how various viewers handle
it, e.g. through a voting and automatic rasterizing mechanism; or if the
test wasn't so good as I would have thought, some feedback on how to im-
prove it, hopefully with the fixes already applied.

Most of what you write seems more concerned with a structured approach
to create, as you say, tens of thousands of tests; great if someone is
going to do this, but it does not seem particularly likely.
