See this thread : http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-05/msg00456.html He already embeds emacs within emacs.

What else could we be talking about? If you want to request, from Emacs, the display of some HTML through a browser, we already have that feature. We do this by invoking a separate browser process. That way is much cleaner.
