Maybe WebDriver itself would be the appropriate place to create the
Selenium/Sahi implementation? The motivation of the project was to
create a single abstraction for any web testing framework. That would
allow you to select the most appropriate driver for your app at one
point with no commitment to stick with it forever, or even mix different
drivers in to your test suite (ie- no javascript? Stick with HtmlUnit.
Suddenly need javascript testing? Start using the IE and Firefox
drivers. Have existing Selenium/Sahi tests? Translate them to webdriver
code and choose to run them super-fast in HtmlUnit (I have no idea if
WebDriver intends to do this last one, bit it's a jolly good idea,
no?)).
I can also see reasons why you might want to be agnostic about the web
testing framework in jBehave rather than tightly coupled to WebDriver.
On the other hand, you could think of a web testing abstraction as
orthogonal to what jBehave is trying to do and delegate to another
project.
Not sure myself- just playing devil's advocate here.
