Embedding

  • Unification of "embedding" APIs (nsIWebBrowser) with XUL APIs, for consolidation of window-targeting and other docshell mess
  • XP embedding APIs (XRE_InitEmbedding) - bootstrapping mainly needs a little glue and a lot of documentation
  • Platform-specific embedding APIs
    • ActiveX embedding control - code is there and basically works - needs incorporation into libxul and lots of testing
    • gtkmozembed - code is there and is tested by Epiphany and others: needs incorporation into libxul with some additional glue APIs.
