Conformance tests can be used by developers, content creators, and users alike to increase their level of confidence in product quality. In circumstances where interoperability is necessary, these tests can also be used to determine that differing implementations support the same set of features. The level of quality of the XML TS is complemented by W3C and NIST's concern in test reliability and coverage.
Probably a little beyond me at the moment but it looks like interesting stuff....
