The platform/ directory is already supposed to be a browser

JavaScriptCore/wtf classes.
When we started our work few months ago, we were planning to use a
fully abstracted browser to simplify (and speed up) ports on
various embedded systems. Platform/ did not met our expectations
because it did not proposed a clear abstraction between the browser
and the system
I think maybe you misunderstand the intent of the platform/
directory. It has nothing to do with the browser. It is an
abstraction for low-level stuff that WebCore needs to use... such as
strings, timers, graphics, images, fonts. It is not about the
embedding layer or about communicating with a browser wrapper.
