As this sounds very cool, I couldn't help but try it. I do get an error, 
though:

Ran 80 tests with 2 failures and 0 errors in 37.463 seconds.
Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):

This is inside a test collection in the Plone land, so there might be 
something on the various other layers involved here, that causes this. 
But maybe you have an idea what this is about?
