FWIW, the editing tests are still very useful for regression-testing.
They often catch unintended behavior changes when changing editor
code, just because they test quite a lot of code paths.  I think it
would be very valuable for web-platform-tests to have a section for
"tests we don't know are even vaguely correct, so don't try to use
them to improve your conformance, but they're useful for regression
testing anyway."  That might not help interop, but it will help QoI,
and it makes sense for browsers to share in that department as well.

(This is leaving aside the fact that the editing tests are
pathologically large and should be chopped up into a lot of smaller
files.  I have a vague idea to do this someday.  They would also
benefit from only being run by the Mozilla testing framework on
commits that actually touch editor/, because it's very unlikely that
they would be affected by code changes elsewhere that don't fail other
tests as well.  I think.)
