Some folk from the OASIS/NIST team asked me to put their cases into CVS, with bugfixes for against the "second draft" ... which I did.

They're not 100% up-to-date with errata; some of the IBM cases are still broken (bogus UTF-8, etc), and some of the Sun cases got mangled in the 2nd draft and still haven't been updated (simple fix, as I recall). - Dave
