A browser inside Emacs: do you agree that this would only make sense if all text editing was governed by Emacs, i.e. each text area was handled by Emacs directly as a buffer? (Is that doable with the new Gecko library?) In that case, why not have an extra port of Emacs that would provide a "text area widget" (and maybe more) to be used as library by other applications written in GTK/GNUStep/Cocoa/whatever frameworks?
