Or to put it another way, if browser behavior is converging to something other than what than what the spec says, then perhaps it is the spec that should change. Sure. But I was hoping to see a list of user agents that differed from the test data, so we could target the problematic cases. As is I'm not sure how to interpret a row that reads "user agents with differences: testdata chrome firefox ie" versus one that reads "user agents with differences: ie safari". > web-platform-tests is huge. I only need a small piece. So for now, I'm making do with a "wget" in my Makefile, and two patch files which cover material that hasn't yet made it upstream. Right, I was suggesting the other way around: hosting the evolving-along-with-the-standard testdata.txt inside whatwg/url, and letting web-platform-tests pull that in (with e.g. a submodule).
