Anything that does not require mechanize directly should be a separate base 
class, like the timer for example. This way I can reuse it.

Other than that I think that the API is a bit too rich. It is very hard to 
reimplement it. One of the worst examples is the regex support in the 
selectors. There is no way I can reproduce that functionality in Javascript 
and thus need to download the source, figure out the link and send a unique 
representation (XPath?) to Javascript somehow. Actually, I was already 
thinking about always working in Python and always send XPath to Javascript 
as the element identifier.

Regards,
Stephan
