Yes, that's how i see it. I think it is now proven that the beast
works. Now begins the painfull part of fixing bugs and implement
the stuff around WebCore (the WebKit framework). However, the screenshots
show that the very major part of html rendering is done by WebCore (khtml).
The amount of code that currently exists to make WebCore working seems
rather small to me (compared to what the whole framework does).

Yes, you are right, i expressed myself somewhat unclear. JavaScript
is basically there (i ported JavaScriptCore too) but it has not been
tested yet. I just did not have the heart to set the "enableJavaScript"
setting to YES :-). The same is true for the other mentioned points. All
are basically there but for some, there has to be additional code written
to enable them and of course, all have to be tested (i bet there are
many segfaults sleeping and waiting to occur).
