To be honest, I don't think Deuce is a great basis for a full HTML
browser, although it could be extended to suffice as a simple HTML display
gadget. Because its display is centred around lines (within nodes), I
think it would be far from simple to extend it to cover all the
positioning attributes in CSS2; even proper support for HTML table layout
wouldn't fit in too neatly.
If I had lots of spare time, I'd be tempted to write a Dylan wrapper for
the Mozilla core ... :-) In the meantime, for Win32 platforms, wrapping
the MS "Internet Explorer" control is probably the easiest thing to do.
