Which reminds me: I've seen two web unit testing frameworks, one which was
by the originial PyUT author, and the other that seemed more complete,
though not so well documented either.

I've fancied developing one myself - so I'd like to know what kind of
things should I take into account before trying such a largish project?  I
know that it is hard to test Web-based applications, for one thing - the
user doesn't usually type GET parameters to the URL, while doing so could
be the only possible way to do automated web site testing. Ideas/comments?
