I can give you an example: Imagine someone is writing a document
database that stores images and postscript files. Of course you
may want to embed KGhostView, but of course KGhostView does not
know how to load/save from/to the database, so you need a general
interface to load/save the contained data (if there is any of course).
BTW: We can now embed KGhostView in Konqui. That is cool, but very
specialized. I can imagine that other apps may want to do that, too!
Perhaps the BrowserView stuff can just be a specialization of
a more general embedding stuff ?
