If you want to write tests, I would say the best place to start is the A5 stuff, for 
two reasons:

a.) Grammar/Regex tests would be really useful in testing the Grammar engine.

b.) The A5 stuff is definitely the most stable part of the Perl6 design.  As far as I 
know, it hasn't really changed much at all over the past 2 years.  You could probably 
work directly off of A5 and S5 without having to worry if the reality is much 
different from the document.
