This was also mentioned later on ("ref" should be "reference(s)" since  
there could be several of them; what type of match to do is also relevant  
since there will be both "equal" and "different" in the future).

I think it would be useful since I, for one, usually start out with just a  
URL to the test when analyzing things. Having to look it up in the reftest  
index (or use the harness somehow) can be cumbersome. And I think it's  
worthwhile to have tests be functional and understandable by themselves,  
so that the single URL is sufficient.

(Ideally, I think best practice should include writing the pass condition  
somewhere in the actual page whenever possible, but for existing tests I  
can understand that it won't be feasible.)
