That sounds right. Here is the design concept:

The directory platform/mac represents Mac in the future and the other directories such as platform/mac-lion mean “things that are different in Lion than the future” and platform/mac-snowleopard means “things that are different in SnowLeopard than Lion”.

Skipped files are an anomaly here; they are independent rather than built on top of each other as deltas, but that is a design mistake. The Skipped file in each directory should be a delta from the Skipped file from below. There should be a master Skipped file that is not platform specific, and then each directory should modify that one.

I’d expect something similar for the Chrome-style expected results file too. And I’d also like to merge the Skipped concept and the expected results concept into a single file.
