And this approach would appear to have a platform independent nature, 
highly appealing.  I don't know anything about Webkit.  Are you talking 
about adding Webkit to the C level of Emacs, doing an Emacs Lisp binding 
to Webkit (probably running in a separate process or mulitple processes 
ala Chrome) or something else?
