I take it that Amaya is not going to handle Javascript well, though?
I guess whichever "light" browser we choose, we'll probably have to
compromise somewhere. I don't think saying "we offer a 'light' browser
but it doesn't do Javascript" is a big loss.

Well, I think Konq is out because it really does depend on too much
KDE-specific stuff (external viewers and the like) unless someone has
a sensible counter-argument to that point. I'll have to examine all
