WebKit vs Gecko and Wine

[Vijay Kiran Kamuju]

Hi,

I have a nice idea to discuss at wineconf this year.
Is it possible to use webkit for mshtml and jscript implementations of wine?
Have been hearing a lotta good reviews about performance of webkit and
lotta other browsers adopting it.
How much work would it be to support webkit as to provide an
alternative for winegecko?
Firstly is it feasible.

Thanks,
VJ

More importantly, which of them has the closest thing to an "internet
explorer compatibility mode"?  Ideally, whatever renderer we use would
be the most IE-like.

Gecko has many incompatibles with IE and do not pretend to be more compatible 
with IE specific extensions (like IE's DOM and so on). It is serious problem 
if we need IE-compatible engine in Wine. Has WebKit some IE compatible mode?
