Any test with a WontFix expectation is not run (i.e. skipped).

I find this rather inconvenient as I'd like to test as many tests as possible, even if a specific test is expected to fail. My main reason behind this is to have as much test coverage as possible just so any crash occurrences do not go unnoticed.

I'd like to propose at least a compromise of noting the expected failure along with the WontFix modifier, for example:

fast/harness/sample-fail-mismatch-reftest.html [ WontFix ImageOnlyFailure ]
