    Sure, check this article for instructions on how to make a one-line-of-code web browser in Cocoa using WebCore (and the comment at the bottom of the article which tells how to make a no-line-of-code browser!)

    You seem to be forgetting the VITAL point that Apple REFUSES to release a new version of Safari, and therefore the WebKit, if it is at ALL slower that the previous version. This is a definate fact that Apple hangs on to dearly and could be why there are still a few places that they need touching. As per WWDC, sometimes coders kind of cheat by optimising another part of the code so that their new code does not slow down the browser but as long as the end result is that the new build runs at least as fast as the previous build, Apple will release it. If it is at all slower than the previous build, Apple refuses to let it out of the closet.

    The only reason I can think of is for visual HTML editors. They could embed both frameworks for previewing pages without having to load a separate browser.
