It's certainly important information, but can't we make the link automatically by using a directory structure that matches the document structure. That's something that would make a real difference to the ease of writing tests. ie. all tests for the section "7.1. Text Alignment: the text-align shorthand" get added to a subdirectory at css-text-3/justification/text-align-property/ the tools can then use the directory structure to identify the section to which the test belongs, and bingo you've reduced the work of writing tests to a far greater degree than worrying about one meta element. it also has advantages if the document structure changes. Just move the tests to a different directory - no need to change the metadata or update the file contents everywhere. it also makes it easier for people to locate tests for a particular feature by looking in the repo, rather than having to find other locations that provide such info (if there are any) and tracking down tests from there. it also removes the question of whether my test should point to the TR version of the document or the ED, and btw ask yourself what's the current ED location today. maybe i'm missing something, but handling this automatically seems like a real effort-saver for people creating tests. ri
