Don't take this as an attempt to discourage you, but may be your efforts deserve a more promising area to be applied to? The current trend in the "web world" is to let web browsers to act as advanced and feature-rich virtual machines for applications run on behalf of web sites. This is hardly compatible with being lightweight :( There are "lightweight web browser" projects, not connected to LXDE, but I would not expect this succeed in the long run - the applications to be run inside the web browsers become always more demanding. If you skip the support for web pages which are "to be run in the browser", that is which rely on Javascript, Java, Flash and similar, then the user will badly miss interaction with a large part of "web-based" services. On the other side if you manage to implement all the "crucial" features without bloating the browser, it would be a big win - but I guess this would need a major and sustained effort, directed at a moving target. Hope I have got this wrong...
