Look for instance at CSS3-UI

But I think it is a lost fight. The technologies will collide no matter what. 
Consider the spell-check in GMail, and then consider that KHTML tries to 
provide its own spell-check using a KDE text-widget. GMail doesn't even do 
anything fancy, it just adds the spell-check using javascript. 

I mean I wasn't trying to be inflamatory. This is possibly just a consequence 
of a changing web, and richer online applications.
