A test program would not violate the restrictions that the standard 
places on use of the return stack when locals are used, so the fact that 
a system may have a separate locals stack or use the return stack *is* 
irrelevant to the test itself because the test will run on both types of 
system.

However it is relevant for the test programmer who must obey the 
restrictions if the program has to run on all compliant systems. I was 
talking about the test programs not the programmer.
