Re: [css3-multicol] tests submitted

While we agreed to start tracking spec issues in Bugzilla, we didn't agree to use it for tracking test issues.

I'm actually in the process of building a custom solution for tracking test case issues (and it will do a lot more besides), so I don't want to start tracking issues elsewhere and have to migrate data. I hope to have something online soon, but in the meanwhile I don't think the MultiCol test suite is so large that we can't track its issues over email and the wiki.

Unfortunately, I will not be at the F2F in Japan to discuss, but has there been any progress on this front? I suspect others will have some further comments or issues with these test cases as well as others moving forward, and keeping track in a database makes the most sense to me.
