I wonder if the path of least resistance would be to slowly convince the people that like writing Acid* tests to take things up a notch and rearchitect the next version(s) so that success is a measurement of collective+isolated implementational correctness. Such an effort would probably involve a higher level of ongoing support from the vendor side of the fence (in terms of motivation and iterative discussion etc), but relative to other options might be, as I said, the path of least resistance. </armchair_idea>
