By the above line I think you meant "Yes, you can", and that I can 
safely assume that the corresponding testsuite (e.g. IPsec_Self_Test), 
actually tests the RFC's mentioned as references in the testsuite's test 
specification.

Thanks for the clarification, that the various TAHI testsuites (like 
Self_Test, CT, IPSec_Self_Test, DHCPv6_Self_Test, etc) complies with 
their corresponding test specifications,
posted at tahi.org and hence they test the various RFC's in the test 
specification (mentioned as references) .
