Testing scripts are just like any other code.
Documentation normally is a problem. Non-code documents usually drag
in a slew of problems. Often they are produced by non-programmers who
require special interfaces (see also: dumbed down) to the VCS. Also,
icky non-trivial file formats come into play (Word, PDF, PS, etc...)
and render much of a VCS's power nill (diffing two Word docs isn't
very useful).
Fortunately, we don't have either of these problems. Our docs are
written in POD by programmers. For all intents and purposes, its
code.

But why? It's such a well designed cesspool of C++ code. Why wouldn't
you want to hack mozilla?
