Yes, I know :-)

Okay.. now Simon was referring to *after* KRASH.  It was my assumption
that Konqueror would be based on KParts... hence my question.

So let's say that it is now after KRASH and BrowserView now uses
KParts as the back-end.  A few questions:

1) Will the BrowserView API change at all?  That is, will current
   BrowserView parts have to be rewritten?

2) Will apps OTHER than Konqueror be able to embed the BrowserView
   parts?  For instance, will my MyCoolApp be able to embed a
   kghostview part?  Or will BrowserView still be very specific to
   Konqueror?
