We should have that too, sure.

If the goal is to get browsers to implement, how is it more valuable? 
Browser vendors ignore W3C test suites to an even greater extent than 
they ignore bug reports.  In particular, I don't believe browser vendors 
typically run W3C test suites en masse regularly, whereas they do 
regularly look at the bug reports that get filed on them.
