Description I18n Core WG 2012-04-05 11:54:26 UTC
For example, someone seems to have been playing around with http://w3c-test.org/framework/details/i18n-html5/bidi-chrome-019, which messes up the result summaries.  I've seen several other instances of results I think need to be cleaned up, and made some mistakes myself. 

I think the sooner we can clean the test results the better. It will get harder as time goes on and the problems accumulate.

Perhaps, something like a graphic of a - sign in a red circle alongside each entry in the table on the page at the end of the above link. Click on it to delete. Presumably only accessible to certain people with access rights.

Yes, please!

When implementing, simply set the `ignore` field to 1 in the results table, don't actually delete the result.

Since this requires access control, see the login and access control code in Shepherd. I was planning on back porting this to the harness code (much of it is already in the core library).
