Rendering the modern web is a very complicated task, and I doubt it's
worthwhile to try to implement this independently in Emacs.
An easier route might be to use Gecko or Webkit to embed webpages in
Emacs windows, in the spirit of how we use the GTK library to draw the
tool-bar and scroll-bar. Emacs might either link directly to
Gecko/Webkit, or use XEmbed to fit a separate mini-browser process
inside an Emacs window.
AFAIK, no one is currently working on anything like this.
