Yep, me too. If you can sketch the kind of things that plugins might need,
I can implement it on the konqueror side. But as soon as it talks about
html-specific things, I don't really see how it can be non-html-engine-specific,
since konqueror itself doesn't know anything about html (which is good ;).

Oh, nice. With an embedded find bar like in khtml?
