I don't mind. Given our current velocity on these things, I suspect anyone
can add any tests and it'll be fine.

I'm planning on rewriting Selenium's "Get Text" tests for the conformance
suite, but my expectation is that the browser vendors will be doing the
lion's share of the work as they work on their various implementations. I'm

no idea how much value that would bring.
