IMO suggesting that a test passes just because it raises an exception,
without being specific about what that exception might be, is at best
missleading. We can't say that our code base accurately reflects the
content of the SCA specifications based such a loose assertion.

Remember that the conformance tests are just that. I would expect
there to be many scenarios that the otests themselves don't cover. We
need extra tests in Tuscany for the cases that the otests don't cover.
The least we can do is wring as much value as we can out of the set of
tests that the otest suite represents. Otherwise we just have to
re-write the test ourselves.
