Paolo forwarded a mail about that to me earlier - basically it was a
call from OGC to run their recently developed compliance tests for
WMTS with existing implementations and basically to help testing the
tests:
http://cite.opengeospatial.org/te2/about/wmts/1.0.0/site/

By helping out with OGC WMTS test suite, one can be recognized as a
reference implementation or be mentioned in their press release.

I am not sure if this applies to QGIS at all, those tests are for WMTS
server side. We have client WMTS support, but as far as I know there
is no WMTS support in QGIS server.

Yes :)

I have added my comments to the pull request.

Note: the work I have done and the call that started this thread are
not related in any way...
