Re: [html-tests] [html] Add test for shared event loops (#5738)

I think my basic position is that the spec is currently so wrong on this that no one should be implementing it as written, and in fact no one does.  What I want to avoid is tests that imply that the spec should be implemented as currently written, or worse yet "force" UA implementors who might not be as deeply involved in the standards process and hence always take spec text and WPT at face value to implement things that are just wrong conceptually.

What that means in terms of merging these specific tests, I don't know.  Maybe the failure messages should just point out the potential problems, to make it clear that simply making the tests pass may or may not be the right course of action...
