Yes, I have been playing a bit with WebCore and found that it appears
to be incomplete if you want to actually render HTML.

It looks like it requires various renderers to be supplied by the user,
but I am still unclear where and how to supply them, even if I had
them.  You also need to subclass WebCoreBridge.
