For instance, a run-test-in-safari (as a parallel to run-safari) script could be made which starts the server, and then loads the test with the right URL in your built Safari (or MiniBrowser, or whatever).

There is of course be another place to point to when/if the test gets upstreamed, but even that doesn't support stable links like trac does.

I’m not sure what you mean by “good enough”.  Good enough for what?  What are we debating here?  I was suggesting a mechanism to ease Simon’s specific problem, and I do think a script which both starts the server, and loads the correct URL would be helpful.  I often forget exactly what path to copy when writing http tests.
