I know we haven't done much in the area of test architecture for the
flows. One of the reasons I was hoping to de-emphasize Spring in the
action design was to simplify that process perhaps. But it sounds like a
good idea to me to start hammering out a description method and that's a
good way to generate tests we need anyway.
