David Hyatt wrote some good essays on this topic half a year ago.  Please see
the following:

(and Ian's comments linked to from that last one).

To summarize, this would be a good idea if there were a _lot_ of tests used.
We're talking probably thousands or tens of thousands of tests to give decent
coverage of CSS2.1.

I'm not sure what I think of browser makers maintaining this, really.... No
matter who maintains it, doing so will be an enormous time investment (since
all those thousands of tests will have to be run in the browser being tested).
