I think for the most part they've been tweaked pretty well and
cover most of what needs to be tested without going overboard.
The only suggestion I would have for improvement would be a
minor one about the formatting. There doesn't appear to be a
standardized convention for differentiating between menu
choices, buttons and check boxes and keyboard input required
from the tester, etc. Maybe the xml format is too limited for
making things better, but it can be hard to follow some of the
testcases at a glance.<br>

I don't know enough about that to make a sensible comment. Other
than - can you be more specific about a particular testcase - I
might be able to look at that then</blockquote>
<br>
We can add new (micro)formats as needed.<br>
<br>
However, we are currently relying only on pure HTML markup, which is
a big plus. Introducing any classes or such should be well thought
out and useful, since it adds to the testcase markup and makes it a
bit less legible. This is not a huge problem, but we don't want to
make reading/writing the testcases any more complex than it is now
if the benefit is only minor. I can agree some classes might be
worth the while though.<br>
<br>
We should probably coordinate this effort through the QA team so
everybody can be planning and benefit of it. I've just subscribed
the -quality mailing list [1], so we can take it there or
#ubuntu-quality on Freenode.<br>
