Description Dominique Hazael-Massieux 2012-10-17 12:18:53 UTC 
The current test framework API doesn't let one easily find all the test cases linked to a given spec, or a given spec section.

The use case for this is: I want to test HTML5 video support in browsers, so I would like to get all the test cases that relates to that feature, which I can reasonably well associate to a given section of the HTML5 spec.

(I guess it's possible to iterate through all the test suites, than through the specs linked with the said test suites, and then the sections, but that's a lot more work than needed)
