This package is not intended as a candidate to merge with EWW. It is a
web browser of its own. Stefan Monnier's rationale for merging it with
EWW is that ideally we should have a backend and a frontend systems for
web browsing, the backend retrieves over the net and parses the
response. The frontend decides how to display the parsed results. It is
conceptually a good idea, but requires a lot of work. For starters, lynx
-dump as a backend provides a plaintext version of the html. It seems to
have a long history and widely used for web scraping. There's no dom or
structure, but only links.
Best,
Yuchen
