Daniel would answer that one better than me, but he will only be back on Monday. So here is my take...
We're aware of Webdriver, but as you say this is an entirely different approach, and we will continue to support SeleniumRC for the forseeable future, particularly as of today Webdriver lacks support for a couple of browsers. (Webdriver, as the name implies, needs a dedicated driver on each browser it runs on). Once browser coverage for Webdriver has improved, we might consider adding support for it in qooxdoo, but I'm not sure you even have to add specific qooxdoo support. Webdriver interacts with the browser engine to create "real" events, and I doubt this depends in any way on the app or library or framework that runs in the browser. It's like a user typing and clicking. In the same vein, this is ignorant of the DOM. So I doubt that any DOM-inspecting or JS object-inspecting APIs will be offered (but I'm just guessing here). I don't know what the tools will be to locate elements on the page, but I'm not very optimistic about Selenium locators as we know them. T.
