I like this idea. It would make a lot of sense, as a key part of any
information management system is display of information and Mozilla can
display several interesting types (HTML especially). It can also handle
email and newsgroups.
The problem I have with this is I want a Mozilla written in a high level
language like Smalltalk. Mozilla by itself seems overwhelmingly large
and complex and I bet a lot of that is due to being in C++. As the Lisp
people say, any sufficiently complex program reimplements half of Common
Lisp badly. (or I might add, Smalltalk). I think Mozilla is big enough
that this applies.
Squeak has a simple version of a web browser, but it still has many
omissions and weaknesses.
