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?)
I agree. If it is a matter only of having a browser display inside
the Emacs frame, we might as well do so by fork/exec'ing the other
program and telling it to display on part of the Emacs frame.
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?
I think that is a separate issue, but it would be a good feature.
