Yes, this is always difficult the line between to much and not enough is really thin. We try to do as best as we can, but it sometimes fails (fortunately, I work for a company that is very rough with client that are to difficult on such topics) > I'm still concerned that you're overly optimistic about how well > interoperation will work.

I don't consider WebKit tools as an "interoperability success" but many of those tools worth to have their usefulness to be considered. I'm always working in a cross browsers way (meaning Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explore 8-10, Opera and Safari at minimum) and it is amazingly difficult but it worth the effort :) That said, if it's possible to have tools that make my life easier, I will bless any one who will help to achieve that.
