Dunno, looking for a way where we can harness the authors for producing 
tests in the least-intimidating way.  I'm not really thinking that the 
tests will be a useful, displayable part of the docs, but I figure the 
closer we can tie it into writing each docs section, the more likely 
we'll be to get contributors to actually think about it & do it.  I 
could be wrong there, tho...
