Something else. Exposing coverage info for all specs is key when deciding
where to focus test writing efforts[1] and then how to measure progress.

I'd like this data to be exposed (e.g. using d3.js[2]) in a central
location (thinking the test/test-doc center) in such a way that it becomes
trivial to answer questions such as:

* I have half a day to write tests, I want to focus on JS APIs, where can
I be most impactful?
* Did I make a dent today with those 12 tests I wrote?
* How's the overall test coverage of all the specs included in Coremob[3]?
* What's the state of HTML5 coverage compare to last quarter. Are we
seeing progress?
* I'm the CEO of W3C, is this W3C fellow handling testing actually getting
something done, or is he spending his time making nifty data
visualizations? Oh, my! This is so pretty!

--tobie (with my W3C fellow cap on and from the wrong email account.
Sorry.)

[1] Arguably, we'd still have to factor info on which parts of the specs
are known to have multiple interoperable implementations in order to focus
our efforts, but please bear with me.
