For what it's worth, I've been able to create some pretty good content based unit tests using the parser... I have a filtering parser that I've put together (haven't committed it yet) that allows you to specify a region of the page to extract text from. This makes it pretty easy to determine if text was placed in the correct location.
It won't work for everything, of course, but for functionality related to layout, etc... this may be useful.
