The set option is a nice way to be able to run the very same script against both browsers without having to edit the script itself. e.g. run in one system set for IE, and it uses IE, run it on another system set for firefox, and it uses firefox..
but speaking of that, if both are used, which takes precidence? If you try to use (or accidentially end up using) both the environment variable and the inscript .default= at the same time, which one wins? (or do we file that under 'bad ideas' along with crossing the streams or sneaking up on a piersons puppeteer from behind and suprising them)?
