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?)

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?
