For us, the biggest concern is the ability to open it up on browser and
attach debugger easily so I don't think rewriting paths like that in
DRT/WTR or webkitpy would really address the problem.

One approach I came up during the meeting was to run a test with and
without a server. If the results match, there is a good chance the test
doesn't require a server. We can put that meta data somewhere (e.g. we can
insert a link/meta element next to where testharness.js is imported) so
that the information is readily available.
