You might want to take a look at env.js, a project of John Resig:
http://www.github.com/jeresig/env-js/tree/master
It uses the Rhino engine + a library that emulates the browser
environment.

Actually, I too am interested in having a UI-less browser for
automating tasks. I've been thinking of using env.js, but the project
is still in development. The other option was to use Gecko, but I
haven't had any time too look at possibilities of turning off the UI
related functions.

Let me know if you find anything useful!

Cheers,
Ivan
