I've noticed as of late several different approaches being used when
adding/changing LayoutTests which need rebaselining on other platforms.

Obviously we cannot expect developers to test/rebaseline on all platforms
before landing given our current infrastructure.

But what should we expect them to do?

Currently some folks add failing expectations to other ports
TestExpectations.  Some add [skip].  Some even add them to the (new) global
TestExpectations file.

What's the proper course of action?

I checked:
http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/Keeping%20the%20Tree%20Green
http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/Creating%20and%20Submitting%20Layout%20Tests%20and%20Patches
http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/TestExpectations
and didn't see the "I expect this to fail/need rebaseline on other ports"
case discussed.

I remember some discussion of a [rebaseline] keyword in TestExpectations,
but I'm not sure that ever made it in?
