TerryB, you said in an earlier post about the SR20/22 POH:
I think the important sentance out of the manual is:
"While the stall characteristics of the SR22 make accidental entry into a spin extremely unlikely, it is possible."
These new designs (including the SR20/22) are not impossible to spin, they are just more resistant to spin entry. Given this fact regarding flight test and certification, you can still induce spin entry for spin recovery testing.
However, with this new design philosophy's more relaxed rules for spin recovery incorporation into the airframe's design, I'd hate to be the assigned test pilot for this duty.
