Re: Opera Presto test suite released

Hi

Thanks a lot to Leif Arne, and to Opera as a whole, for getting this out.  
This

Not counting (based on a naive grep on file names) ref files, there is  
about 85 thousand files in this repo, so I would not understate the  
significance of this either. Even if only 5% end up being usable test  
cases, that would still be a very welcome number.

The conversations that triggered this release happened at the last Test  
The Web Forward in Seattle. I'd this was quite productive an event, future  
TTWFs will have a challenging record to beat.

The amount of work needed to go through all this is far from trivial, but  
who said interoperability was supposed to be easy?
