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.
