Just read this through Org mode's patch tracker[1] and coincidentally
started to work on the test framework, too. To get a recent ERT
running on Emac22 we need to backport parts of simple.el as of Emacs23
-- doing this is scheduled for the upcoming weekend in my Org mode.

This is great. This would be useful for non-babel tests, too. There
are some tests for link escaping and link export -- I'm going to
extend the latter (that's why I started to work on the testing
framework in the first place).

Best,
