We'll schedule a task for identifying in CSS 1/2.1 folders which

Sounds good.
I think an earlier first step should be to reorganize layout tests so
that the platform-independent ones are in a different directory than
the dependent ones.
Have you an accurate placeholder to suggest for these thoughts? I
was not sure whether bugzilla or wiki would be better....
Either or both seems fine -- I don't feel strongly about this.
For others tests folders, I think that if the proposed plan fits
WebKit community's interest, we should file bugs about replacing
Tables, Fast and Traversal by image-based tests, and also bugs
about exploring the parts we haven't done yet (plugin, svg, http,
editing)...
Bugs are a great way to track specific tasks to be done. But I think
it's even better if there's a way that the layout tests source tree
self-documents which tests are expected to have different results per
platform and which are not.
