What I understand is this: The software running the test suite will know it has to wait a little in tests that have <html class="reftest-wait" ...> before comparing the rendered layout of the test with the reference test file. Because there is a script doing some DOM node manipulation (add, remove, replace, delete, insert of a node or text node) or setting some DOM attributes to a node (or several nodes) in the test. > I see 35 tests in the suite that have it [2].

If I understand your question,... yes, such customized external automated test harness running automated reftests would definitely need to know about <html class="reftest-wait" ...> in order to know what to do about it. > In porting > this to the new W3C test documentation suite, I'd like make this > complete or remove it if it's irrelevant. > I believe it's relevant.
