D.13 Is there
a conformance test suite for XML processors?

James Clark has a collection of test cases for testing XML parsers at http://www.jclark.com/xml/ which includes a conformance test against ‘canonical XML’.
A much larger and more comprehensive suite is the NIST/OASIS Conformance Test Suite, available from http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/xmltest/testsuite.htm, which contains contributions from James Clark, OASIS and NIST, Sun, and Fuji Xerox.
NIST has developed a number of XSLT/XPath tests, which will be part of the official OASIS XSLT/XPath suite (not yet released). These tests are available from our web site at http://xw2k.sdct.itl.nist.gov/xml/index.html (click on ‘XSL Testing’). The expected output may be slightly different from one implementation to another. The OASIS XSLT technical committee has a solution for that problem, however our tests do not yet implement such solution. Please forward any comments to carmelo@nist.gov.
For those who are interested, I took the current and complete Unicode 3.0 ‘cast’ of characters and their hex codes, and created a simple XML document of it to test XML browsers for Unicode conformity. It is not finished yet—I need to add comments and to fix the display of rtl characters (ie Hebrew, Arabic). It is found at: http://www.windspun.com/unicode-test/unicode.xml. It is quite large, almost 900K in size, so be prepared. IE5 renders many of the characters in this XML document—and for the ones it does render it appears to do so correctly. I look forward to when Opera will do likewise. I haven't tested the current version of Mozilla/Netscape for Unicode conformity.
