+This directory contains tests imported from W3C test suites. In order to make it
+as easy as possible to update these tests, no changes are made to the imported
+files (names for scripted tests do get a test_ prefix to integrate with the test
+runner, however). The scripts to update tests are provided.

+ Parses failures out of a mochitest log and writes out JSON files and Makefiles
+ into the correct failures/ folder.

+=====================================================================
+Importing an additional directory from an already-imported repository
+=====================================================================
+
+Add a line to the relevant data file (e.g. webapps.txt), with the path to the
+additional directory relative to the root of the remote repository, and then run
+the importTestsuite.py script, passing the data file as its argument.
+
+
+==========================
+Importing a new test suite
+==========================
+
+Create a data file in the format documented above, and run the
+importTestsuite.py script, passing the data file as its argument.
+This will create a foo.mk file; include this file in dom/imptests/Makefile.in.
+
+Add any necessary files in failures/.
