Just to inform you: I've just played with a similar project. Writing
some XML parsing stuff. Using QChars/QStrings seems to be quite easy for
now. I am not sure about the performance yet but it seems as if the
compiler can optimize the code very well.

I am not sure how many people would be working on this separate branch.
You might consider to go right into the HEAD branch after you have
produced the first steps at home. Would be hurting the others (konqueror
developers mostly I guess) very much if khtml would be ... aeehhh ...
slightly broken for a certain period of time ?
