So do you have any ready-made test sets including both query files and data/config for the authoritatives? This is where it falls short, I presume each implementor has its own dataset and it's hard to tell how much it represents the reality. I'd like to have something that I can download, set up according to the spec and let the magic happen, but I guess there's no free lunch.
