DAP hasn't yet started writing tests in earnest, but as some of our documents 
are nearing LC we're getting ready for it. We've resolved to use testharness.js 
as well. We haven't captured it as a MUST, but given that we have a bunch of 
specs and that we expect work to be distributed to many people we expect to use 
it throughout — so pretty much a tacit MUST.

Yes, I think that makes sense for DAP (which, AFAIU, generally will not have legacy test suites to leverage).

In the case of WebApps, I would expect some vendors to have already created test suites for specs they have deployed (e.g. Web Storage, Server-sent Events). In those cases, I do not think we want a testharness.js dependency to block them from contributing those test suites to the W3C.
