Not until Sun decide what it is anyway.

I agree.

I agree with this too... I am working (very slowly) on a web browser
written in Java. It is quite different from existing concepts of web
browsers. I originally looked at Swing's document model to see if it
would do what I wanted it to do... but it's too restrictive.
So I've been developing a library (in Java) for handling documents
the way I want to using lightweight AWT components.
