Does this load external styles, or javascript files? What about the images and does it evaluate any script tags?

I have done a few albeit scattered attempts at headless or semi-headless html/js unit tests. What I found out to be a good middle ground is running is this:

Run selenium server and firefox on a remote server. Trigger tests via a task queue, which at the moment is Gearman, have firefox draw to a virtual frame buffer.

What that does for me is cover pretty much every case that a real browser does, and completeness is key in my point of view. I would like to see how Zombie compares on the completeness side and then speed.
