---------------------------+------------------------
 Presently we have runner methods for test requirements. For example...

 {{{
 def test_authorities_are_up_to_date(self):
   if test.runner.require_online(self):
     return
   elif test.runner.only_run_once(self):
     return

   ...
 }}}

 We should check to see if we can switch this to an annotation...

 {{{
 @run_once
 @require_online
 def test_authorities_are_up_to_date(self):
   ...
 }}}

 Not entirely sure if we can make this work in python 2.6 (that's the
 reason we have the 'return' conditional in the earlier bit). However, if
 we can this would certainly make things more elegant.
