The implementation report is now very clear and informative regarding
which tests are passed or failed by a given implementation. This deals
very well with my first point.

Turning to the second point, its not entirely clear what the pass or
failure criteria are for each test

http://www.w3.org/XML/2005/01/xml-id/

says what is tested but not what must be done to pass... ah, is

http://www.w3.org/XML/2005/01/xml-id/test-suite.xml

the documentation? Yes, I see <result> and <notes> elements which seem
to document this. Its not super clear (when one is already on a page
called "The xml:id test suite", following a link with the anchor text
"test suite" is not an obvious thing to do to find out how to judge
whether a test is passed or not) but it is documented. Therefore my
second point has been dealt with.

In http://www.w3.org/XML/2005/01/xml-id/ is it possible to generate it
such that the notes field is also included?
