Yes, that is the intention.

We haven't yet figured out how to do this reliably. We still have same problem
that I mentioned on the VE/F page about absence of an oracle to tell us
authoritative wikitext to compare against. So, the best we can do is simulate
null edits, or modify text, etc. But those are, for the most part, the
uninteresting bits of selser testing -- the most interesting bugs show up with
more complex edits, and that is the bit that needs to be solved for using it in
an automated manner in rt-testing.
