     113Here are some rules-of-thumb that you could apply when adding new expectations:
    114114
    115   * Only use WontFix when you know for sure we will never, ever implement the capability, tested by the test
    116   * Use Skip when the test:
    117      * throws JavaScript exception and makes text-only test manifest as pixel-test. This usually manifests in "Missing test expectations" failure.
    118      * disrupts running of the other tests. Although this is not typical, it may still be possible. Please make sure to give Pri-1 to the associated bug.
    119   * Try to specify platforms and configs as accurately as possible. If a test passes on all but one platform, it should only have that platform listed
