           Summary: Change a bunch of things in the test_expectations.txt
                    format
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2

As per the result of https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2012-May/020674.html, we've agree to make the following changes to the test_expectations.txt format.

1. Make SLOW, SKIP and WONTFIX outcomes instead of modifiers.
2. Change bug modifiers to be URLs. The format for person bugs is bug(ojan).
3. The only things that come before the test are bug modifiers and platform/configuration modifiers (e.g. MAC DEBUG).
4. WONTFIX tests are either skipped or we ignore their output as long as they don't crash (slight preference for skipping them, but not enough to argue over it).
5. Use the same character as a separator before and after the test (":").
6. Standardize both Skipped and test_expectations.txt on a common comment delimiter (i.e. "#").

Anyone feel moved to make these changes?
