Hi all!,

I'm working a Test.Simple replacement, that basically inherits the
simplicity of Test.Simple but:

 * Works on IE5.5
 * Don't require you to count the tests
 * Tests that requires elements visible in the browser works in the
TestRunner (Harness).
 * Display the test results nicer (IMO).

I wrote this as a solution to the the previous problems encountered
while developing a widget library based on MochiKit.

We are considering supporting IE5.5 on the widget library, and if
that's the case, we need to test MochiKit itself on IE5.5 and patch it
where needed. A patch that uses SimpleTest instead of Test.Simple is
attached.

The downsides:

 * SimpleTest itself depends on MochiKit.DOM (once you start working
with MochiKit you start including it almost everywhere ;-) ). If
testing MochiKit with a library that depends on MochiKit is a problem,
the dependency can be avoided.
 * SimpleTest only provides ok, is and isDeeply. Nothing more by now.
Anyway, copy and paste from Test.Builder and Test.More is not
difficult at all.
