i was about to ask the same question. with Selenium-RC there is already a tool with support for lots of browsers which can be driven by various scripting/programming languages.
 
Selenium-RC doenst need the server-side implant Bret mentioned in his post anymore since it comes with its own java based reverse proxy.

The DownSide

to make this work cross browser, the html must contain the flash object and some javascript. The easy way is to have the server do this for you. If you are using rails, its easy. Other server technologies may be harder to have it work in test and easily switch off for a production environment. 
The other alternative is to do it client side, using a proxy that alters the HTML that is delivered to the browser.


I'm curious why you aren't using Selenium RC? The main drawback to it is that it also requires a server-side implant, but you seem to be willing to do that. On the other hand, it is open source and supports lots of browsers, not just Firefox and IE. I figured a Watir-like Ruby interface to Selenium RC would be easier.
