Re: Automatic test results reporting

Hi Francois,

A useful feature would be to allow a tester to define the test results
collection server address, and for W3C to publish the API that the client
side of the framework will use to deliver the results. This will allow
testers to do preliminary testing, and automatically collect the results at
their own server for offline/private review, prior to doing a test for which
results are delivered to W3C.

Selection of a non-default results server could be a configuration item
which the tester can set at the start of a test session or persistently (eg
via localstorage).
