Dennis E. Hamilton commented on COR-10:
---------------------------------------

OK, that helps a lot.

I don't know what it means to speak of big difference in system demand?  Apart 
from tech-press reports, is there some way we could quantitatively deal with 
this?  A lot of reports about browser performance have to do with number of 
tabs open, that sort of thing, and don't apply to the use-case of this issue.

With regard to using the hosted libraries that make a browser engine available 
for local operation, I would consider the following:

 1. What is already available on the platform without having to make the user 
do anything or change how they operate?  (I notice many Linux distros include 
Chrome out of the box, which has not even been mentioned, while others include 
Firefox in the basic installation.)

 2. Are we expecting users to change their browser or can these be transparent 
to whatever the user preference is for browsing as opposed to a local app that 
runs in a browser-implemented host framework?

[PS: It is probably confusing to refer to all of this as "webkit" since webkit 
is a specific initiative that is, evidently, now exclusively supported by Apple 
since Google is now doing something else.  I haven't followed how other browser 
producers have dealt with this and who is playing on what team.]
