prod/Serialization.xml says: <description>Tests for the Serialization production</description> <link type="spec" document="http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-30/" idref="doc-xquery30-Serialization"/> But there is no "Serialization production" (no non-terminal named "Serialization"), and http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-30/ does not have an element with id="doc-xquery30-Serialization". (I'm also wondering whether Serialization belongs in prod/.)
I agree, these tests are miscategorized. I'm inclined to create a top-level catgegory ser with a test set for each serialization method. But there's also further work needed to define extra assertions for serialization tests, e.g. to match the output of serialization against a regular expression.
For the time being I have renamed the test set to prod-OptionDecl.serialization to restore the link with naming of productions. Some of the tests are testing things in the serialization spec rather than in the XQuery spec. I don't think we need to worry too much about that distinction, but if we're going to start testing serialization systematically then I think it should probably be a new top-level category.
