And it's actually much worse than that. As far as I can tell, de
facto web standards change quickly and are defined by whatever
the main browsers (IE, Firefox derivatives, Webkit derivatives)
support. I still prefer a deeply-integrated Emacs browser
(emacs-w3m) for many tasks, but there's just no way Emacs can
keep up with these standards.
I'm not sure if I *want* Emacs to become a web browser (just
making it easy to edit the contents of text boxes on all
platforms using Emacs, via emacsclient or otherwise, would be
plenty), but even if I did want it to, I doubt it could become
one.
