You may have overlooked one dependency, not of the functional type you listed but an add-on necessary for a browser to be usable today: Flash. My browser of choice is Mozilla's Seamonkey suite running under eComStation (OS/2). It shares a profile and all the data files with the Win version so when I need to boot Win I have all the same bookmarks, history, mail etc. I am not comfortable allowing Win to connect to the WEB, but I am increasingly having to boot Win because the OS/2 Flash is still version 5. Adobe has apparently recently allowed the current version to be ported but time and money to do that is scarce. So while I would like to see a real browser under DOS, if it doesn't include the current Flash it would be crippled, and maybe not worth the bother.
