If you could get together with the other people writing parsers and come
up with a standard format for test cases, that would be really helpful. I
have a few tests I could contribute, but I'd need a format to provide
them in (they're currently not in a form that would be useful to you).
Did you have a list for implementers somewhere? I think it would be a very
worthwhile effort to come up with a set of implementation independent,
self-describing (i.e. where the testcase itself contains the expected parse tree
in some form), testcases - but I think the discussion should be on a separate list.
