Yep, these capabilities already differ between safaridriver and 
webkit[gtk]driver.

Whether it makes sense depends who is running the tests. If it's for public WPT 
CI, then it won't have access to trunk safaridriver bits, so it won't be very 
useful to detect new passes or failures. If it's me or another Apple engineer 
using it to find conformance problems, then it can run against trunk 
safaridriver and be quite useful. It might also be useful to run Safari 
Technology Preview safaridriver in public CI like wpt.fyi just to have an 
independent pass/fail metric that is a lot more current (every ~2 weeks) than 
/usr/bin/safaridriver (only updates when system Safari is updated).

Currently, safaridriver implements Selenium protocol, so this will be usable 
for running WPT tests in general (modulo bugs). However, the WebDriver tests in 
web-platform-tests repository only target W3C protocol and use a custom client 
library (not Selenium). I'm currently implementing W3C protocol; when it's 
ready for public testing via Safari Technology Preview, then I will make sure 
it's possible to target a 'safari' browser via wptrunner for WebDriver 
web-platform-tests. Until then it doesn't make much sense to add it upstream as 
a target for WebDriver tests.

Carlos has a JSON-based expectations system for WPT WebDriver tests. Should we 
use that? I'm not sure if it is flexible enough to capture multiple port 
expectations. We'd probably want expectations to vary depending on enabled 
features somehow. Also, I'm not sure if we want to combine multiple port 
expectations, as this is a maintenance nightmare in the current layout test 
TestExpectation files.

For WebDriver testing purposes, I would prefer that there be a generic WebKit 
driver (uses Source/WebDriver/ and MiniBrowser) and a Safari driver (uses 
safaridriver and Safari). They are two separate REST API implementations with 
different bugs and capabilities.

It might be worth the effort to make Source/WebDriver work with MiniBrowser.app 
on Mac just for the purpose of having the entire system under test be compiled 
from one repository. However, this is generally not reflective of how 
safaridriver will perform since only the WebKit parts of WebDriver are shared 
between safaridriver and webkit[gtk]driver. It would just make it easier to run 
web-platform-tests against WebKit itself on Mac.

I don't have an opinion about how to handle webkit vs safari for the rest of 
web-platform-tests. Again, we need to think about who will be running it that 
way (engineers? CI?).

There is also the issue of WebKit on iOS... since safaridriver doesn't work 
with iOS Safari, we can't run web-platform-tests via WebDriver on iOS until 
such support exists.

I can clean up and submit a new PR for this, if that's the direction folks want 
to go now.
