I agree that it would be nice to share more references, and I believe that all these tests had the same wording when this reference was first submitted in 2010. (Adding them at that point would have been better for everyone involved, but Microsoft at that time vehemently objected to improving the test suite.) Unfortunately, the phrasing in a subset of those tests has since been changed, so it would be a lot of work to return to the original situation. I do not believe that making this change is a valuable use of my time, given how much more useful work there is to be done on the CSS2.1 test suite. If this is something you feel strongly about, there is of course nothing that prevents you from making those changes yoursel f.
