We actually discussed this a lot on IRC and came to the conclusion, that surf is the approach to provide a suckless interface to a sucky base. The web sucks. And there's no way you can write a suckless rendering engine. I bet you can even prove this mathematically. If a "Standards consortium" releases a new 1000-page-standard every year where only big companies in a combined effort can develop implementations of, then there's something wrong with the standards, not the rendering engines. Even though webkit sucks a lot in many ways, there's simply no other way to write a _usable_ interface to the web. There are other areas where you can make a change. It's not looking like the web is going to improve in the next couple of years. Cheers FRIGN -- FRIGN <d...@frign.de>
