Yup.  The Yelp end of things should be easy.  It's a matter of linking
to Gecko or using a GRE or whatever else.  I haven't at all looked into
programming with Gecko, so I just don't know how hard it is.

Incidentally, speaking of a11y and Gecko, there's this bug:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123008

Presumably, this could actually be done with Gecko.  And Anders has said
that gtkhtml can't do this, and probably never will.

Also speaking of a11y, we are working with DocBook source.  If the HTML
isn't up to par for screen reading, I don't see any reason why we can't
do specially-tailored stuff for screen readers, rather than trying to
push it all through HTML.  CC'ing gnome-accessibility-list, as I don't
have much of a clue on that sort of thing.
