Dear Jonathan, while this is true for the syntax provided at the moment, please note that the generator takes a syntax and generates the tests. Since our developers tried to implement the normative parts of the working draft and the February's working drafts normative grammar was - umh - rather buggy, the implemented grammar had to make some assumptions... There is quite a difference between the use cases (that certainly can and should serve as a start) and an automatically generated set of expressions. I am sure as the time progresses and the new working draft will provide a usable, normative grammar, the test cases that we generate will be following the WD syntax...
