Joakim wrote a patch that allows him to display arbitrary GTK Widgets in
a buffer. This could either be used to directly link Emacs against the
Gecko or WebKit GTK Widget, or to use the special GTK widget "GtkPlug"
which embeds an application capable of the XEmbed protocol.

Just to give you an idea (OK, that includes the compiled files):
[~/src/WebKit] $ du -hs .
1.3G .
I'm not quite sure where you want to get the resources to realize such
a huge project.

Someone mentioned that it would be really cool to access all the DOM
stuff from Emacs Lisp. I have to admit that this would be pretty
appealing (though I'm not sure if it's really worth the work).
You could write nice filter for the web, e.g. remove ads, filter cookies
or change images of your president to "hello.jpg".
