I don't know, I assume this would be possible. Nautilus is capable of
playing most media types natively using an xmms like library.

Nautilus uses the Gecko engine to render HTML files and GnomeVFS (KIO is
a similar idea) for handling HTTP/FTP/File etc., so while we could
launch Konqueror for HTML, we are probably more likely to use our own
handling ;-) On the other hand, I will put Konqi in the database as
handling text/html so it will be an option to users.

Probably nothing unless NS6/Mozilla registers to handle these (which it
will may).

We will at least want them registered in the database to make it easy
for users to choose them as one of the options.
