That's assuming we rely on the Emacs redisplay engine. The approach
being discussed in this thread is to embedding the output generated by
an external browser library in an Emacs window.
Basically, this involves being able to tell an Emacs window not to draw
the usual Emacs display, but to display the output from an external
process (an embedded browser process) instead. I think it's very
feasible, assuming someone has the time to do it. The bottleneck here
is manpower.
(Maybe this would be a good Google Summer of Code project).
