Essentially going from:
{"params": {"validator": "blah", "id": "header"}, "method":  
"asserts.assertText"}

to:
{"params": {"text": "blah", "id": "header"}, "method":  
"asserts.assertText"}

I think it's a bit more intuitive, nicer for code readability, but  
most importantly I think it's what users are used to when switching  
from other test frameworks.

Im not married to the idea, just throwing it out there.
