is there any chance of getting a layout test with this?

[Dominic Mazzoni]

This is all chromium wrapper code, and I have a chromium browser test ready for review that exercises these new APIs and makes sure they work. I'll send a link to the code review when I upload it.

I'm also happy to add a layout test as well, but is there any infrastructure now to access chromium wrappers like WebNode, WebElement from a layout test? As far as I can tell, building WebKit by itself doesn't even compile the code in the chromium/ directory...but if I'm missing something, please point me in the right direction!

I don't know anything about how chromium builds accessibility, but I imagine DumpRenderTree could be modified to accommodate testing these things. I think it would be useful to figure out how to write layout tests for changes like these
