I thought someone (Bob Duff?) stated that:

1) some ACATS tests are wrong and people don't tell them they are
2) that there is no length that must be specified as a maximum (i.e. 200)
3) that an implementation can have unlimited values for these lengths

But surely it's better to have tests that are correct?
