It is. I don't think we will need *any* changes in khtmls API, as we didn't 
need them in the last 4 months. There are however a lot of problems still 
remaining in khtml, and we should fix them, and get a new/update release out 
rather sooner than later. You all know how many bug reports we get for khtml, 
and without having regular update releases for khtml, we won't be able to get 
rid of bug reports for long fixed problems.
