I think it makes sense for us if we can start this effort on the reftest framework, since that has a much lower barrier to entry, and ultimately this effort would be valuable only if other browser engines start to use our tests (and hopefully share theirs with us as well).
Is there a concrete plan for getting other browsers to run these shared tests?
The basic idea here sounds worthy, but one concern is that our own tests are often unreliable in our own browser -- and I'd expect that to only get worse as other browsers and their tests enter the picture. I'd therefore suggest that a successful cross-browser test effort should prioritize getting stuff running (even with just a handful of tests)... That way fun problems like reliability have a chance to be found/fixed over time, instead of having a megatestsuite suddenly appear that's unappealing to get working.
