An HTML DOM implemention is a necessary part of JS support, sure (though 
Stefan points out that for web app testing -- as opposed to scraping -- an 
XML DOM may be sufficient for some purposes).

Forgive me for being blunt, but that's not the blinding flash of insight 
that's needed <wink>

What's needed is for somebody to actually write and publish some code -- 
and then for people to *keep on* working on it.  No doubt it sometimes 
happens, but I've never seen a "free-range" open source project (as 
opposed to one started within a company) start up based on one person's 
plan and another's code.
