Sounds fine to me. I'll concentrate 100% of my Watir work on a WebDriver-based implementation and likely won't do any more work on the 1.6 code base. I've also created a watir2 branch of watirspec, which should be changed to describe the wanted behaviour of 2.0 - like changing the specs to use zero-based indices. Before writing the WD ruby bindings, I went through most of the watirspec failures on IE (current HEAD), adding guards to the specs and creating issues in Jira. A lot of those will probably be resolved by Ethan's refactorings, but the list is a good starting point for making future 1.X better and more consistent. Specs failures that needs to be discussed are prefixed with "watirspec-pending".
