OK. Let's get started on that process.

Opera, Firefox, Safari, Chrome and IE all pass 100% of the baseline 
(HTML/CSS 2.1 selectors) and additional (HTML/Selectors 3) tests.

Firefox, Safari and Chrome also pass 100% of the XHTML/Selectors 3 
tests. Opera only passes 99.2% of these and IE only passes 67.7% of 
these. However, these are additional tests that are not required to 
declare interoperability of the API, as the failures relate more to 
XHTML and Selectors support, rather than any particular bug with the API.

Do I need to prepare some kind of formal testsuite report with the 
results for each test?

However, with the recent change from NAMESPACE_ERR to SYNTAX_ERR, this 
test suite will need to be updated with new tests, so this will likely 
delay PR for a little bit longer.

Yes please.
