The work is available on the webkitgit-info branch of the texinfo git
repository. I think it is developed to a point where it shows that a
browser for locally installed HTML documentation is clearly possible
with WebKitGTK. There are some notes in the README file on how to
build manuals for use with the browser.

I tried to upload a demo video to
