Thanks, that's extremely useful indeed! I'm looking into the self-hosted
files right now, and after some simple testing, I think I'll proceed and
put them somewhere on the W3C server.

Could you comment a bit more on this? Is there any reason to think the
self-hosted version may be less reliable than the JSUnit-based one, or
is it simply that nobody had the time to make a proper comparison
between these two test harness?

Thanks again,
