Huh?  I don't understand the technical reason for this requirement.
Can you explain why we should spend double the engineering effort (and
introduce the corresponding instability into JSC ports) to build
something that no one plans to use?

Regardless of whether we implement the feature for JSC, we'll still
need to enhance the layoutTestController to exercise the feature
because the feature isn't exposed to normal web pages.  Isn't a better
solution just to add the tests to the skipped list for non-supporting
ports?
