I think Seth is right, but obviously there is licensing to consider. Maybe the solution would be to use Mozilla's Gecko engine, but implement it as a plugin that can be open source (I'm not sure if this will obey licensing of the Gecko engine so that RB itself doesn't need to open source). This would mean not having to pay for the engine. What would be ultimatedly fantastic would be if that plugin supported any plugins to the gecko engine, in other words we could have the flash plugin embedded into HTML inside that control. This would give so much power to RB and give us access to a pretty good tool in flash. I'd love to use flash for some of my interfaces with a robust RB app sitting behind that to do all the crunch work. On windows I can use the flash control because it's an ActiveX control. Wish there was a way to implement it on Mac OSX (That I knew of).

That would be very cool and a great way to leverage off of a huge amount of other people's work ....
I'd love to see it happen.
