Hi,
this is excellent news!
We have been missing a good port of the WebCore engine ever since the first 
public release... 
This did mean for most khtml developpers a great difficulty to evaluate 
changes between the two engines up to now- in one way or the other.

So obviously, this effort will significantly leverage the overall quality and 
mindshare of all khtml-based engines. Thanks!

From your summary, I'd expect this work to soon find its way to a public CVS, 
or is that too far fetched? 

Greetings,
Germain
