Many consider KHTML/bindings (as used by Apple's Safari, and recently by
Omni) the better implementation. If/when ObjC++ is available via gcc,
porting KHTML to GNUstep would probably be even easier.

Using WebCore (and JavaCore) a browser _completely_ based on GNUstep
could be written within a very short time...
