Webkit should run in a separate process, I'd go so far as to run
a separate, new process for each Emacs buffer that one associates
with the Web. So putting a buffer in web-mode would
automatically have that buffer talking to a fresh webkit process,
a la tabs in Chrome.

If you search for Webkit and Emacs, someone out there has
apparently succeeded in doing a very early pass at this via the
GTK binding for Emacs. But for such a binding to be truly
valuable from the emacs side, ie more than screen-dep, we would
also need Lisp access to the DOM.
