This may be of some use for you:
   - http://www.idyll.org/~t/www-tools/twill.html a python tool with a
language to script "web commands"
   - http://maxq.tigris.org/  a java tool with python as macro-language
to script "web commands"

I would guess, probably any tool designed for testing be it web or gui
should have some of the functionality you are looking after?
