I think within Emacs, w3m and shr.el are sufficient; Firefox and Chrome
are usable in the Emacs-based desktop environment I propose.
Trying to track the pile of... standards... that is HTML plus Javascript
plus CSS is IMO a waste of time. The battle was lost in 1993 or so; a
web browser is today not so much a program as a compromise over which
standards to follow and to what extent. So I'd rather let web browsers
do that, and Emacs should not try to do it.

I think w3m has provided 95% of what's needed, and the rest is external.

You said that already :)

emacs-panel.el will provide several things that gnome-panel and friends
provide today. The goal is to reduce the need for GNOME and KDE (and
others, like XFCE), in the process saving memory, resources, and
providing a richer, more customizable environment. I listed all the
things emacs-panel.el should provide in
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/139687 and am working
(slowly) on implementing them.
