  I do like this more than the old API, but having assertText take a  
"text" param seems a little redundant. You said something about  
assertValue at one point.

Could we move to something like asserts.assertValue({"text":"asdf",  
"id":"header"}).

Are there other functions we could replace with params like this in  
assertValue?

Also, in this example it's just id="header", this takes all the  
standard locator stuff doesn't it?

I like where this is going and I think your example is cleaner. Once  
we agree on a strategy we can get this in to the 0.3 release. We can't  
change any of the external API's in an 0.2.x release.
