That's reasonable. The reason that I asked was that all I'm doing is 
writing functional tests - so, for example - if I make a mistake in a 
functional test for "Filesystem" I don't necessarily see why the 
developer working on Filesystem should have to look at it, or spend 
their time fixing it. By the way, this came up because a colleague found 
a mistake in a test and couldn't work out the right way to raise a defect.

I also noticed that there are separate categories for Documentation 
defects - so it seemed to me to be consistent to have one for tests.

I'm happy to ask people to  with raise  them against the implementation 
- I just didn't want to cause unecessary work for the core developers. 
Of course I'm *hoping* that there won't be enough defects in the test 
cases to cause anyone major headaches :-)
