I was going to ask for a better definition of the difference between "embedded" and "highly integrated" but I think based on your example I'd have to say "embedded". I refer again to my e-mail client example: the model currently used in several clients is a "mailbox" pane, a "subjects" pane, and a "message viewer" pane. If I wanted to create such an application in RR that supported HTML mail, I don't think I could without an embeddable HTML rendering engine. Clicking on a message in the "subjects" pane and having it fire up an external browser would be too kludgey, IMO. But maybe this is a Windows bias . . . I'm a bit more used to having my apps self-contained. Those few times I've had the opportunity to work on Macs I've found it disconcerting to have the menu floating off detached from the working area of its application. Windows-conditioning aside, I stand by my wish: I'd love to see a cross-platform control in RR that can render any well-formed HTML thrown at it.
