Thanks for clearing that up. A lot of the content in the dynamic suite
really looks like it could be broken out into smaller unit tests also.

I would be interested to know when you have a MEP test suite available.
I noticed some edge cases with MEP in production, and wanted to write
tests before I started to cut code to fix these issues. 

Until then, do you think it suitable to add my extra use cases into the
dynamic suite and just test using that?
