Also, here's more information on testharness.js (used by WebApps and 
HTML WG):
  http://w3c-test.org/resources/testharness.js

That file includes embedded documentation that should be very clear to 
anybody who's accustomed to using JavaScript to automate test cases. The 
sources are at http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/resources/

The work on WebDriver will supplement testharness.js for our purposes, 
not to replace it. Specifics questions about testharness.js can be 
answered in real-time on the #testing channel on irc.w3.org:6665. If 
they prefer e-mail, the right list to take those kinds of questions to 
is public-test-infra@w3.org.

So it seems that we should settle on testharness.js for test-cases if at 
all possible.

  hope this helps,
       harry
