I'd say it depends on their release cycle; but we could bundle a patched 
HtmlUnit into gwt-user (like we bundle a patched JDT into gwt-dev) to get 
the fix early without waiting for the next HtmlUnit release (assuming the 
patch would get merged upstream!)

If you (Daniel & Colin) think we should get the fix in 2.8.2, then let's do 
this (bundle a patched HtmlUnit into gwt-user).
Note that we could possibly just bundle the patched class, and not the 
whole jar(s)!
