I do not get it, why they would want to go back there, because
a) that's where it came from
b) KHTML is still available separately
c) WebKit's first and foremost platform is OSX
But maybe I'm just missing the point. Wouldn't be the first time :-)
As far as I know, Apple took KHTML and extended it using Cocoa
collections etc. And the plan of unity is to replace the usage of Cocoa
with standard C++ collections (STL?) to merge KHTML and Apple's
derivative of it back into one.
Both Apple and the KHTML people could benefit from such a move if both
agree to work on such "unified" rendering (and javascript) engine.
Webkit would be just the same for developers. It's just that the
rendering "core" is stripped off Cocoa'isms...
...but I may be utterly wrong, too! :-)
