That sounds great but can we make this change upstream on
http://hg.csswg.org/test/file/8ca008901be5/approved/selectors3 ?  It seems
like other vendors would benefit form this change as well.

Also, this test suite is a great example of one that I think it would make

Again, can we do that upstream? It seems like adding reference files for
those tests will be valuable for other browser vendors as well, and people
working on these test suites really want feedbacks from browser vendors.

I assume Gecko needs reference files as well when they import this test
suite so it'll at least benefit Mozilla. And it'll be really silly if each
browser vendor invented their own reference files.

Doing it upstream also have a benefit of making the effort visible to test
authors, who might be able to give us valuable feedbacks.
