OK thanks, but rather than have test suite status in some obscure 
minutes document, perhaps it would be more generally helpful to include 
some status info in the test suite rep (f.ex. 
<https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests/tree/master/dom/README.md>).

That's real helpful and perhaps a link to it should be included in the 
CR's SotD section.

So, I think you mean the plan is to publish the CR on May 6. I still 
don't quite understand the implications of the Draft CR saying the spec 
will not be published as a PR before June 6. Is the expectation you will 
have 2 implementations passing all of the tests by June 6? (I'm trying 
to get a sense i.e. "guestimate" on when you expect this spec to exit CR.)

OK, please do include that info in the CR.
