To take that a step further ... even if some people are really
hostile to an idea on the discussion list, that doesn't usually
reflect the attitude of the project as a whole or that of the core
developers, and it's highly likely that other people would welcome
contributions that a small minority have loudly complained about.
It's also easy to massively over-estimate the amount of opposition
that the author of an email meant to communicate.
So, it would be a mistake to be put off by negative sounding
comments. Rather, you should assess them, take technical ideas
from them where appropriate, and make up your own mind.
This is a great point. I originally posted the bounty for WebKit
because, as a web developer, that really _is_ what I would like to
see, and what I am willing to put money towards. However,
SimpleWebKit and some of the other solutions that have been brought
up (like using HTML Tidy), don't seem like bad ideas in the slightest
-- in fact, they may very well turn out to be great solutions that
get us further than a port would. So, while the bounty doesn't apply
to them, that doesn't mean that those options shouldn't be explored,
if they scratch someone's itch by covering the use-cases that their
app requires.
