there are interesting things to play with in there, but for a browser, just vncv to something where it still won't work but at least you'll have someone else to blame. for someone's school project, i tried to use some javascript from a famous place, and every browser behaved differently with it (eg, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and IE7 was VERY different) and none of them was quite right if you cared about (say) display and printing both working on the same browser, and producing the same content. i got some usable results but the experience was disconcerting, if unsurprising. we could have used the carbon credits saved by not expelling the hot air to discuss this so often to no real point, to provide a huge Linux Firefox and Opera server somewhere on the Internet (eg, Al Gore's house) for use by Plan 9 people when need a fancy browser and they haven't got a server of their own nearby.
