The question is specifically about Mozilla. If this can be done with little effort, as the embedding docs referenced above suggest, I think the Emacs users would gain from it. I can't suggest all the possible uses (although previewing HTML as Mozilla would see it is certainly one of them), but I think this is a feature that could engender many new uses of Emacs and make many existing packages more functional. Thanks Ted
