Techinaly there is no "internal" webbrowser, all html pages are
generated from a seperate process to the viewer using the webkit
rendering engine and passed to the viewer as a texture via a shared
memory buffer. Using seperate processes is enough to isolate from GPL
issues and other licence issues in other cases so i can't see what the
html engine user agent string has to do with the TVP and the unique
identifier which is used by LL on the xmlrpc login processin this case
either.

I often have to change user agent on my browser to fix broken
websites, I can't see how this is any different.

Plus if this "really" is an issue LL can request that you unfix your
code, i believe that was part of the TVP conditions for connecting to
SL but again the webbrowser is not specificly connecting to secondlife
and its the age old story of anyone who wants to do bad things can and
will fake idents regardless, its only leigit viewers that need to fake
idents to avoid "broken content" in this case and not allowing a
viewer to fake this only hurts and would make a mocery of the entire
3rd party viewer system.
