I'm not sure I agree with that.  Testing for properties that aren't in
candidate recommendation is probably a bad idea, unless it's to make
sure that they are *not* implemented.  (Examples in the table above
include list styles, border-image, and box-shadow.  Of those, I think at
least one (border images) is unlikely to reach candidate recommendation
in its current form.)  Furthermore, many of the other tests duplicate
existing tests [1].

It also might be worth pointing out that 'word-spacing' is a CSS1
property, and that Mozilla 1.7b and Firefox 0.8 are just (as far as CSS
support goes) different versions of the same implementation.  However, I
don't think detailed corrections of these tests are really on-topic for
this list.
