David,
Great work!

Output them to a Results object which, by default, sends the output to
document.write() but allows the user to redirect the output. For
example, it might be nice to have test results pop up in a separate
window while the main page loads.

How about:
if (some_condition) {
// do your tests
}
else {
skip(number_of_tests)
}
And:
while(todo(4)) { // sets an internal todo counter
// each test automagically decrements the todo counter
// ... but this should be transparent to the test code
}

Will this screw up a stack trace? Also, while javascript doesn't have
the Perl concept of context, are there any scoping issues this might
cause problems with? Will passing a function reference have any chance
of altering the behavior of the code (it would in Perl).

Used to be "no", but I'm not sure about the latest versions.
Cheers,
