Hello Philippe,
I have been working on the JS DOM bindings of Konqueror/KHTML too,
and Peter forwarded your mail. (kfm-devel is the mailing-list with the
Konqueror developers, the name is from the old times when Konqueror
was named KFM :)

Definitely !

Yes, this sounds very interesting.

I guess the first step would be to try out the "DOM Level 1" tests inside Konqueror,
to see if there's any framework problem. I'll try doing that today. I have subscribed
to www-dom-ts, I guess that'll be the best place for posting the results? (Those
that have an impact on the test suite, not those that reflect bugs in konq ;)

Sure.
