I too have thought this about the fact that WebKit is out there but
upon reevaluation (this morning :-)), I don't think WOBuilder has very
much to do at all with WebKit. WebKit is a rendering engine. I
don't think Apple can just plug in WebKit and then WOBuilder will
magically be a great tool. WebKit doesn't understand <webobject />
tags any better then Gecko or any other rendering engine. I'm
guessing Apple would need to do a lot of coding to get WebKit to work
with WOBuilder and even then that wouldn't solve the issue that
internally WO generates HTML 3.2 tags.
WebKit once modified to handle <webobject /> tags will make the pages
look real nice but that still won't get us where we need to be. I
think it probably needs to be re-written from scratch which is probably
not that easy to do.

That would also be something I remember people mentioning in 1996,

But
forgive my lack of enthusiasm or trust. WebKit was available last
year, and
probably inside Apple for 6 months or a year before during development
cycle.
