Cool - thanks Leo, I just had a browse through and added the following
question to the discussion page:

Hi Leo, and thanks for all the work that's gone into this. The only
point that is unclear for me from above is whether you think it best
to add the data-qa-id to every element that your QA tests will use, or
just when a meaningful identifier matching the user experience is not
possible? Second point regarding the 'Con' of longer sst statements,
if the sst guys think the data-qa-id a great idea, I'm sure they won't
mind updating button_click and friends to check for data-qa-id after
id (or similar) -- Michael Nelson 2011-09-29 08:02:33
