What would it take - in the form of a bounty - to get a community wide 
project to get Lazarus a *real* HTML5 browser for OSX and Linux?  I 
assume windows is already just an Active-X component.

Any ideas? I can't stress this enough that it's like living in the 
technical dark-ages without access to developing front-ends without rich 
text and more often for me  now, web apps.
