Yes, I think a test suite would be a nice thing to have too, but I guess
it needn't be a high priority thing. Personally, I would, like you, love
to find out what specifically is "not fully compliant" or "broken" about
my APM BIOS. My Omnibook 3000, when given some tasks to do in the
pre-suspend command, _sometimes_ (randomly) goes into hibernate instead of
suspending when it is supposed to suspend. It gets annoying after a few
times because with 112 MB RAM, it takes a while for my system to come out
of hibernate...
