Peter has to confirm this.

Also, note that there is *not yet* a CSS3 fragmentation src folder and 
there is *not yet* a CSS3 fragmentation test suite.

See:

http://test.csswg.org/source/approved/

or

http://test.csswg.org/shepherd/search/

My answer is no (at least not automatically): the test would not become 
part of the other spec test suite ...unless Web Applications Working 
Group people contact Peter Linss and then reach an agreement to do this.


There is a shadow DOM Working Draft.
http://www.w3.org/TR/shadow-dom/#dependencies
And so, it's not illogical to create or have a test suite for Shadow DOM 
one day.

For now, you can just add a link like this (eg):

<link rel="help" 
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/shadow-dom/#retargeting-related-target" 
title="5.2 Retargeting relatedTarget">

Again, Peter Linss should confirm this.

Peter Linss should answer you. If a test is supposed to be in 2 distinct 
and already-existing CSS test suites (say, CSS3 multi-column and CSS3 
Text), then the build system should be smart enough to create the same 
test in the appropriate sections of those 2 respective CSS test suites. 
Peter Linss has to instruct the built system to do this.

eg
http://test.csswg.org/suites/css3-multicol/nightly-unstable/html4/multicol-rule-color-inherit-002.htm
http://test.csswg.org/shepherd/testcase/multicol-rule-color-inherit-002/
but there is no CSS3 values test suite created yet.
