mwahaahhah basically, yes. i'm fed up with the mozilla foundation,
who have trashed python-xpcom _just_ at the point where i demonstrated
its usefulness: the only reason things still work across linux
distributions is due to inertia as the distros are still offering
xulrunner-1.9.1, and i'm definitely fed up with the webkit developers,
one in particular, whose treatment of and attitude to the work that i
did to get python bindings to the DOM of webkit was beyond atrocious.

so, python-based web browser it is, implement the W3C DOM API with
it. hack it about, combine paul bonser's pybrowser back-end (which
was where paul did most of the work, and stalled on the front-end),
job done, one compliant python browser supporting W3C TR1,2 and 3 and
if we're reaaallly lucky i maybe add some HTML5 features too.

just don't expect it to be quick!
