This is actually one of the things I really like about exploring with
Watir. It seems to me that there's a real design question here. Not
that this isn't a gotcha, but I don't think it's a FAQ, either. (I've
never seen anything like this, for instance, and I don't think this
situation has ever turned up on the list.)
