Its not only the rendering that is nice is WebKit.  Arora also handles Ajax 
type web pages much better.  For instance GWT applications (even old ones)
work where they never did with Konqueror, the BBC map showing the 
progress of the train they are running around India to cover the election 
shows up (on Konqueror you get a blank, on Firefox it is wrongly positioned
and has none of the place markers) works properly, and things like the 
CouchDB Footon page also work.

Now I assume that this is due to WebKit rather than Arora (which may be a big
assumption).
