The disadvantage with this approach is that it requires someone to manually modify each test to add the new spec link at some point -- probably when it goes to CR.  For instance someone should now modify all the (applicable) CSS1 tests to point to the right 2.1 sections.

I can't think of a better way to manage this problem, though.  We certainly don't want to maintain multiple instances of the same test.

Best wishes,
