No, no, no, no :) There's useful implementation of Ruby (ie, fast,
small, self-contained, memory-efficient, history of good security), and
given to the nearest hundredth of a percent nobody uses NetSurf, trying
to use it to spearhead something like this will get you nowhere.

You mean the thing that's recently had a security flaw discovered in it
simular to that even the PHP people realised was a bad idea a decade
ago? :)

I won't stop you.

Although it has a significantly less nice API and is less portable than,
say, Lua.

Right: so the first job is to implement a DOM. This is language
agnostic, and is a lot of work.

This isn't relevent to NetSurf.
