+/**
+ * This script is used for testing XUL templates. Call test_template within
+ * a load event handler.
+ *
+ * A test should have a root node with the datasources attribute with the
+ * id 'root', and a few global variables defined in the test's XUL file:
+ *
+ *  testid: the testid, used when outputting test results
+ *  expectedOutput: e4x data containing the expected output. It can optionally
+ *                  be enclosed in an <output> element as most tests generate
+ *                  more than one node of output.
+ *  isTreeBuilder: true for dont-build-content trees, false otherwise
+ *  queryType: 'rdf', 'xml', etc.
+ *  needsOpen: true for menu tests where the root menu must be opened before
+ *             comparing results
+ *  notWorkingYet: true if this test isn't working yet, outputs todo results
+ *  notWorkingYetDynamic: true if the dynamic changes portion of the test
+ *                        isn't working yet, outputs todo results
+ *  changes: an array of functions to perform in sequence to test dynamic changes
+ *           to the datasource.
+ *
+ * If the <output> element has an unordered attribute set to true, the
+ * children within it must all appear to match, but may appear in any order.
+ * If the unordered attribute is not set, the children must appear in the same
+ * order.
+ *
+ * If the 'changes' array is used, it should be an array of functions. Each
+ * function will be called in order and a comparison of the output will be
+ * performed. This allows changes to be made to the datasource to ensure that
+ * the generated template output has been updated. Within the expected output
+ * XML, the step attribute may be set to a number on an element to indicate
+ * that an element only applies before or after a particular change. If step
+ * is set to a positive number, that element will only exist after that step in
+ * the list of changes made. If step is set to a negative number, that element
+ * will only exist until that step. Steps are numbered starting at 1. For
+ * example:
+ *   <label value="Cat"/>
+ *   <label step="2" value="Dog"/>
+ *   <label step="-5" value="Mouse"/>
+ * The first element will always exist. The second element will only appear
+ * after the second change is made. The third element will only appear until
+ * the fifth change and it will no longer be present at later steps.
+ *
+ * If the anyid attribute is set to true on an element in the expected output,
+ * then the value of the id attribute on that element is not compared for a
+ * match. This is used, for example, for xml datasources, where the ids set on
+ * the generated output are pseudo-random.
