Can you file bugs or give me examples of why this is true? Are there
specific features missing, or bugs you're hitting? You mentioned the
architecture of the code and how easy it was for you to modify things
- I'll follow up with you on this separately (although I'd be happy to
discuss this on webkit-dev, just in another thread to avoid
confusion).
