Hi Sebastian, 

please be sure to monitor

reading your email, this struck me as nearly parallel. WebApps could 
hugely benefit from a KDE implementation and you could find an even 
more interoperable way of doing things. 

If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask. 

Best, 
Rigo Wenning
