David Burns AutomatedTester

The stated long-term goal for the WebDriver project is to be the reference implementation of the W3C browser automation standard from a client perspective
The browser vendors [w|s]ould provide 'shims' which know about the WebDriver JSON protocol
Google and Opera do already, Mozilla will shortly with Marionette
PhantomJS (non-vendor) is 'ready'
The Se project produces one for IE (which would be happily handed off to MS should they come to the table)
shims will likely come in two types; jar or executables (depending on platform)
WebDriver comes in two flavours; WebDriver and Remote WebDriver (see every other naming rant I've gone on...)

	return callback();

	if (result == false) {
	any_activity_yet = true;
