This way of reading doesn't match the facts - neither Dolphin nor Konqueror are
part of Plasma, they have a different release cycle.
Konqueror has no WWW as it's core: it's mainly a container of KPart objects.

That said, it may make sense to have that documentation in Dolphin, and
reference the Dolphin documentation from Konqueror (Konqueror file management
depends on a library provided by Dolphin).

But please continue the discussion on the other bug.
