BTW, I'd very much like to see this in 3.3.2 if possible, because:

- it makes clear for uninformed people reading http logs that KHTML is a full 
blown, versioned rendering engine - not just a monolithic black box tied with 
a specific application
- not even speaking about features, it makes possible for web developers to 
_remove_ a specific hack whenever a bug is fixed in a sub-release.

I know at least one DHTML script that was broken _because_ we are not 
obviously versioned (remember the Milonic "page goes blank after loading" 
script? well, even if it's mostly fixed now, the menus are still borked 
specifically for us because of this great piece of coding:
konq=(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Konqueror")!=-1)?true:false).

Greetings,
Germain
