I believe that is a sensible approach.

Well, I'm not sure we will come up with a naming scheme that is
  a) sensical, i.e. descriptive;
  b) matches standard description. i.e. the paragraph in the Standard;
     specificationp;
  c) scalable;
  d) easy to use.

I suspect that, somehow, we will end up with numbers.  Therefore I
would suggest the testcases be named after the title of the
paragraphes that describe them in the C++ definition text.  I know
Benjamin is skeptical about numbering, so I would appreciate to have
his input on this suggestion.
