I don't know about "evil", though I don't like it. As you've said, it's ubiquity is a brute fact. Really, there aren't any real objections that I have to integrating it from the outside in, and yet, if one were to go that far, you might as well focus all that effort on improving xwebkit. My one gripe about that particular effort is that it's coming along rather slowly, probably because it's such a niche interest no matter how you slice it. When it comes to Emacs, it's almost never that it *can't* be done, only whether it *will*. And some projects are going to get stuck in the *will* question, inevitably. *sigh*
