Well, right or wrong (mostly wrong).  I'm taking the approach that the
1100+ adl files are my test cases.  It is very difficult too near
impossible to build tests for many of the classes.  So, I opted to take
this short-cut.  The adl files produced by the tools are deemed to be
valid so if I can build archetype instances then the classes are correct
enough for now anyway.

That is the goal.  But, it is incumbent on us to point out the issues
and workarounds. Hopefully then the workarounds can be placed into the
queue for changes to the specs.

I am creating a Python ITS that is specifically for this.  You can see
an example from the Java project here:
