If you consider Firefox to be a continuation of Mozilla, Mosaic, and Netscape, 

then your suspicion wouldn't be entirely correct.

That bit of ``but I was there!'' history-snark aside (and with my apologies; some 

habits die hard), it is very helpful to have a concrete goal given.  I can easily 

imagine situations where emacs-inside-Firefox and webkit-inside-emacs (ezbl 

style) lead to divergent solutions.  From what I can see of the xembed branch, 

it's closer to the latter than the former.
