Maybe some of the text-text- ones too?  smontagu (who recently
implemented some level of bidi support for SVG text) mentioned something
like that to me, and that that was the reason the text is going off in
the wrong direction in Firefox, I think.  I’ll have to take another look
at them in light of Chris’ wording backport.

:target sounds good, but I think we should have some spec text to state
that the SVG fragments that are meant to do highlighting should make the
element match :target.

I’m not sure Firefox will ever implement some arbitrary highlighting in
this case, as it’s just too difficult to have something that works for
all content.  I think making it match :target is better.

Yeah.

That is a good question.

If there’s no requirement in the spec, then sum of the advances sounds
more reasonable to me.

I also have some comments in square brackets in the Firefox results
file.  They are for tests that we’re not planning on fixing because
we think the feature is a bad idea or because there’s a problem with the
test.

Let’s see how much time we get in the call today to discuss all of these
test suite issues.
