 A test-runner can implement the following assertions:
 - Serialization: After parsing the `value`, SSZ-serialize it: the output should match `serialized`
 - Hash-tree-root: After parsing the `value`, Hash-tree-root it: the output should match `root`
+    - Optionally also check signing-root, if present.
 - Deserialization: SSZ-deserialize the `serialized` value, and see if it matches the parsed `value`
