I havn't had much problem with DHTML, but the lack of
XML support (in browser XML->HTML conversion by XSLT)
is a problem, as it becomes more and more common in
intranet solutions. Would a Gecko plugin handle this
or is this something Mozilla specific outside of Gecko.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to make gecko the default
engine for web browsing. Not meant as to be disrespectful to the developers
of the KDE engine, but it seams that Gecko is far ahead now.
And if we don't have any good reasons, I think it is unnecessary to 
reinvent the wheel.

The KDE engine could still be used in more lightweight and predictable 
situations like displaying help pages.
