Correct me if I am wrong, Chris: I think we came to the conclusion that
UnitTest may be better suited for local developer usage instead of
automated testing.
Jeremy, yes, I'm aware of what you're doing and I think it makes sense in
context. In my original post I said " Since the purpose of this project is
to attract members of the global testing community, and to provide an
institutional regression test suite for Mediawiki/Wikipedia, I see no
reason to require individual WMF projects to use this framework..."
I would also like to see examples of Watir.
Watir is pretty slick:
http://rubydoc.info/gems/watir-webdriver/0.5.4/frames .
I'm not sure if you're using selenium-webdriver or the old Selenium 1.0,
but Watir solves a lot of issues for selenium-webdriver. In fact, if
you're using selenium-webdriver in any language, you probably end up
hacking up something that looks like Watir anyway. Watir has the advantage
of nearly a decade of design and refiinement behind it, plus the API is
generated directly from the HTML5 spec today. (just an aside, Selenium 1.0
is not yet fully deprecated, there is still a ton of Se1.0 out in the
world, but the Se1.0 API will eventually be fully retired.)

At least that was using a standard:
RFC 1149

"A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers"
