Simpletest phrasing guidelines

Simpletest Guidelines [1] say:
' * Test descriptions should use active tense whenever possible. "Tests creation of a new node." not "Tests for creating a new node."'

...which is all wrong.
(1) the active is a voice not a tense; the distinction between the two examples is not active vs. passive but abstract noun vs. specific verb; and it is ambiguous because it apparently refers only to inline comments, not to the descriptions actually defined in each test.
(2) the guideline is not followed in core, where there is little consistency [2], despite having been in the docs since last October.
(3) the guideline doesn't necessarily result in good descriptions: you would get 'Tests enabling of a menu link' instead of, as now 'Enable a menu link' or, as a verb, 'Tests enabling a menu link'.

So I suggest removing the sentence for now, although in due course creating an actual standard could be considered by the relevant people, given the range of examples at [2].
