Ah, that wasn't the case last I checked. And again, there's no
specification I can find that requires it.
002-002 is explicitly required by the IDL block in Selectors API
This is the dependency on WebIDL I was talking about.

Probably not, though I suspect that Gecko won't implement this any time
soon; certainly not until WebIDL stabilizes more. It requires some
pretty nontrivial changes.

Sure; I didn't have any issues with that one.
So since everyone is converging on the behaviour tested here, it
should be pretty safe.
It depends on whether you want tests for behavior that UAs are
converging on or for behavior that the relevant specs actually require.
For that matter, it's not clear to me that test 001 is.
Why not? I think everything in 001 is non-controversal and tests only
things that are required by Selectors API, no?
I was talking about 002-001.
