I'm not sure it's all that easy. Effectively, HTML5 turns out being equal to
OOXML and flash in terms of reimplementation possibility: albeit quite trivial
to reimplement in terms of specs availability, the task is too huge to
undertake for a community project.
That is: one may compute standard usefulness theoretical limit as:
int
max_useful (int lastpageno)
{
return 100 / lastpageno;
}
One may notice that even minimalist web browsers (dwb, surf, uzbl, xombrero)
end up depending on D-BUS and GNOME components. Hell, even Qt-based Arora
pulls dconf. Given the recent (well, not quite recent) news from GNOME
project, in several years it might be easier to implement proper Jingle
support to non-GTK-based jabber client then porting recent
Firefox/Chromium/<your browser here> to OpenBSD.
