These issues point out some discrepencies in what the intended behavior
is for the various situations outlined in the test document.

I would suggest in cases where it is clear that the test document
diverges from consensus on what the driver package should be doing, that
the test document be updated.

In cases where the situation is that the test document describes
something which is  not possible with the package, but which is still a
desired outcome, the test plan should be kept as is, and the tests just
marked as "known-failure" cases.

For now, please update the wiki and mark these cases as known-failure.
If you're certain that the test document is just plain wrong, please
bring it up to date.
