I could not think of s simple way to simulate web browser clicks,
either (well, there are tools that, e.g., record and replay interactive
sessions, but they do no easily fit into our testing environment),
but since each click results in a request sent to the server via XRPC,
using scripts and/or (C-) programs that send all relevant/used requests to
a server via XRPC and test the correctness of the result (by simply dumping
it to stdout or into a file and have Mtest/Mdiff check it as usually), would
indeed be a good starting point, and possibly even "sufficient" for the time
being.

out-of-date seems reasonable to me.
