Oh, I forgot to mention another consideration here: I'm trying to write
these test cases to be pretty future-proof, so we could use them
virtually unmodified for F12, F13, F14...after all, the URLs don't have
expire-by dates and the test cases will still be hanging around in 10
years most likely. I suspect scripts are liable to go stale faster than
instructions.
