information on property dependencies
                + AndreWeinand similar request for delegated CR editors
                + AndreWeinand comprehensive test suites are needed to 
help ensure complete coverage, esp of areas of spec that aren't used in 
own team's integration testing.
                + SamPadgett ability to tie state changes across 
resources, for example defect being fixed unblocking test case

possibly for action based or state change scenarios
                + SamLee Action based integration with abstract levels of 
state models, completing state predicate and actions works from before
