Before adding a chrome domain for conkeror-test, I'd like to take a step
back and just ask, does this really represent a qualitative improvement to
our unit testing capabilities?  What kinds of things does it let us test,
beyond this particular case?

I don't have a strong justification for it, I just thought it was neat.

It gives us a way to refer to local test data. The only other (pretty weak) instances I can think of are:

  * Test html files for automated testing of basic browser navigation.

* A test html file for a page mode. Such a test case is probably not very useful though, as page modes depend entirely on the vagaries of changes to web sites out of our control.

  * Invoking test cases from anywhere with
    conkeror -q -batch -l chrome://conkeror-test/content/simple/keymap.js
    (This will need changes to load_rc().)

regards, David
