The XML Conformance Test Suite, v1.0, Second Edition contains over 2000 test files and an associated test report. The test report contains background information on conformance testing for XML as well as test descriptions for each of the test files included in this release. This test suite provides a set of metrics for determining conformance to the W3C XML 1.0 (Second Edition) Recommendation. The XML Conformance Test Suite is intended to complement the W3C XML 1.0 (Second Edition) Recommendation. All interpretations of this Recommendation are subject to confirmation by the W3C XML Coordination Group.

This second edition includes 1000 additional tests contributed by IBM. In addition, several tests have been either updated or further documented to be in accordance with the XML 1.0 (Second Edition) Recommendation. Many thanks to Arnaud Le Hors and Richard Tobin, of the W3C XML Core WG, for their insightful comments regarding interpretations of the specification.
