Wouldn't it be possible to let Firefox render to a dummy X server and  
snoop the bitmaps? Something like wxMorphic? If we're going to brute force  
things, just hook up Xfb into some Squeak plugin, let Firefox run  
full-screen against it, snarf the bits and return the clicks&keys...

Or maybe Firefox (surprise, surprise?) has reasonably clean code so that  
we could just wrap it as a component in a Squeak plugin without X  
intervention?

Another thing to maybe look at is the wx HTML component. Dunnow how good  
it is - we use it in our app, and plan to use it more and more.

Of course, there's always the option to start a no-quirks CSS renderer  
 from scratch. I heard that it shouldn't be too hard, and more and more  
sites will render just fine.
