I agree with master CBV here.

I think you have roughly 4 options
- use webkit stuff (ugly C++, KHTML, etc). Advantage: proven, 
up-to-date, standards compliant
- write one from scatch in obj-c (hmmm don't ask me for help with the 
parser)
- "port" an existing core to GNUstep. I could see 2 good candidates: 
Dillo and mMosaic. Both are fast, but support only plain HTML, no CSS. 
So it would make sense even on side a more evoluted but more demanding 
webkit browser.
- convince omni people to give their old omniweb core (up to 4.1) away 
together with the kits needed under a good license. That would be a good 
thing and I would like to help to port it. I loved that browser...
