It is reasonably close but as stated in some threads a few month back I 
hit some problems which I cannot solve (not even with walking up stack 
frames...).

As the problems only showed themselves while doing browser testing 
inside Plone, I guess I can at least write some unit tests for them, so 
someone else can actually take a look at them more easily.

I'll see if I can do that during my next 10% day [1] :)
