[REBOL] Re: rebol browser???

I was looking into it at one time. Just goofing around one
night I scribbled this up:
http://www.sonic.net/~gaia/projects/web.r
Taking it for a test drive might enlighten you on some of
the many issues a browser faces these days.
If I was to make a real one, I would approach it first by
creating the Document Object Model. I would create a dialect
that manipulates and renders the DOM, and parses HTML. The
rest is made up by contributers who make small adjustments
and advancements to the HTML parser using the DOM
maniputlation dialect.
I make it sound easy, but its actually a very difficult
project. You also must consider that most sites on the
internet are not sympathetic to non
javascript/flash/CSS/frames browsers.
