You have to be discussing the same thing for it to be relevant. My guess is that few films tests would involve broad spectrum light and the high contrast tests are practically lithographic in nature. How this relates to photography in a practical sense you can only guess. IOW the resolution specs provided for films can't be directly compared to digital system tests, ie lens/sensor/demosaicing. It's easy to do a practical test of film vs digi using Pentax film and digital SLRs with the same lens on each body though I'm not about to do so. At this stage my money is on the film in a sheer resolution shoot-out (assuming an appropriate film was used). If I've missed your point I apologize in advance.
