This was a lot of tests for document navigation written (mostly by me) at Opera. We know that this is a very undertested, and probably inaccurate, area of the spec, and suffers from poor interop, so it would be good to improve the test coverage. It's also something that we want to implement in Servo. Without having some credible attempt at a testsuite getting Servo to be web-compatible here is likely to be painful. Well, even more painful.

It's worth noting that these tests are old and were never finished (in the sense that the code they were written for never landed) so are unusually likely to have been written against parts of the spec that have subsequently changed, or simply to be buggy.
