I agree, you have to make some assumptions to be able to move ahead in a timely manner. To me, the benefits of the HtmlUnit conversion outweigh inconveniences like this that can be addressed as they come up.
It might be worth searching the archives for a particular feature to see if anyone asked about it before, if so, they are possibly using it now (someone suggested the index locator to me after I posted asking for ideas to handle a problem). This might produce more accurate info than a poll would.
We have fixed most of our Javascript problems and are very happy someone took the trouble to do this HtmlUnit migration. I'm sure it was a great deal of work. If nothing else, it has forced us to improve our Javascript code! Thank you!
