I agree it would be good to leverage this work. I've thinking about
what the right test framework would be for this: java is nice choice
in that can provide low-level control needed.  Some issues with
JavaScript based is same origin policy / proxy setup, though if it can
work be nice to have a zero-install test suite.  Anyone have any
thoughts or preferences with a provider test suite.
