I suspect you'd have to write some code here to make this happen. Since
we don't support passing in the rendering methods, your next best
strategy would be to write your own implementation of the rendering
context. I don't think you need to do anything with mozilla/view. I
think the view system is a platform-neutral abstraction. There is
platform/toolkit specific code in mozilla/widget you may need to look at
as well.
Having done this, I doubt your implementation will work correctly with
plug-ins, but it should do the right thing with all the rendering under
gecko's control. There may be some hints about how some of this works
in the printing code.
