Intercepting links (like http://..., ftp:// and me@there (with or without
mailto:, like kmail does )would be very nice. Also if khtml is too slow for big 
text files we might break long texts into smaller "pages" with links "next",
"previous", etc.

I don't know if there is need for both - maybe we can have both for a while and
drop one of them later. Or leave them both - with an option for users. But I
think it will confuse them... :-)
