I fixed a few unit tests that Jenkins reported as failing last month
just after I landed html5browser

      * Some tests assumed all browsers were broken, webkit was not,
        gecko was. Tests should not assume all engines are broken; they
        must be written to pass both browsers.
      * Some tests assumed that invalid HTML could be used in the test,
        but webkit and IE correct the markup to build a consistent DOM.
        Write valid markup; no not assume all browsers will interpret
        markup the same way.
      * Tests left cruft behind in the DOM. Browsers may interpret these
        differently. I believe one test was broken when two branch were
        merged about the same time into devel; each passed in it's
        branch, but not together.
