			= 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.
			** The Camino NSView thing: needs help, bsmedberg isn't strong enough in Cocoa to figure out symbol export requirements and linking strategy.
