The ability to test both in a simulated client (HTMLUnit) and a variety of
"real" clients with a single test. If my application fails with IE, I can
complaint all I want about its noncompliance with publish standards, but the
majority of my users will still be angry with me. Selenium is great for this
kind of testing. Of course, I may want to run continuous testing with HTMLUnit
because it doesn't posses a browser.

JWebUnit 2.X proposes the interesting idea of plugins. You specify tests in JWebUnit lingo, but how the test is performed depends on the plugin. You can choose from HTMLUnit or Selenium as your "real" tester. Of course, this is all theoretical in JWebUnit as version 2.X isn't even working. Has any consideration been given to taking this approach with WebTest?
