If implementers feel like it is impeding them releasing tests and helping interoperability, they should speak up in the CSS WG and try and change the CSS WG's opinions on this matter. It is rather less convincing when it is only me arguing this in the WG when I haven't written any layout code in years. +1. The moment someone says, “Here are the tests you need to complete the CSS-Cascade test suite, and why I can’t or won’t submit them to WPT” we’ll find a way to accommodate that person’s needs. Thanks, Alan
