It tells a lot more than that, at least to me. It tells me you've
managed to understand the requirements in the job description
and provide a document that clearly illustrates a relationship
between those requirements and you to someone whose knowledge
of the subject matter is cursory, which from my point of view
is way more important than your ability to handle FrameMaker.
Once you get your foot in the door, that's when you're going to
provide whatever information you think will demonstrate your ability to handle more complex projects. It's not as if I said all
you had to do to get hired was impress the HR screener.

Well, yes, it is a writing test, and I guess in the absense of
anything else, it could tell if the person knows how to construct a
sentence. However, I still maintain it is only a good writing test if
you are going for a job called "Resume Writer". It would be a stretch
to equate the ability to write a Resume and write a "Configuration
and Deployment Guide", especially when there are so many better ways
to determine that. You could do it...but I don't think the answer
would have any validity.
