Should we quantify how many of the tests in the OASIS suite a parser
may fail (excluding those on which the jury is still out)? Given that
there are 1065 tests, what should be considered acceptable?  1065?
1060? 1050?  1000?

Looking at the conformance review on xml.com requiring 1065 and 1060
would only accept the Sun parser, whereas 1050 and 1000 would accept
the Sun parser and XP.
