Description
Both the spec tests and the wpt tests contain all the js-api tests. It happens regularly though that tests in one of the sources get added or modified and not in the other. For example, right now the test js-api/interface.any.js has been updated in wpt but not in the spec repository.
Is there a way how we can get rid of one of the sources, or keep them in sync?

Research direction
Compare the spec repository's js-api tests with the corresponding WPT tests, starting with js-api/interface.any.js and the issue's example of divergent updates. Determine whether one source can be removed or an automated synchronization approach is feasible; done means the two test sources no longer drift without detection or duplication.
