This is part of the planned bigger effort - browsers already support
the 'about' URI scheme, but Emacs is still lagging behind. I'd like
to expend lisp/url/url-about.el to give information on Emacs internals
including about:memory, about:buffers, about:processes, about:timers and
many more, using HTML instead of semi-obsolete Info or other ad-hoc formats.
Do you think this is worth the effort?
