That's cool to hear. What kind of changes will go in a stable branch?
ie, once WebKit/GTK+ "2.24.0" (this probably won't be the version that
you'll use, but I'm using this for the sake of clarity) is released,
what kind og changes will go in the "2.24" branch (and end up in
WebKit/GTK+ "2.24.1", .2 and .3)?

So looking back at the previous discussion that happened on d-d-l,
accessibility seems to be the only important blocker. Do you have any
estimation of when this will be ready?

Accessibility-knowledgeable people: is it fine to not have ARIA support,
or is it a requirement?
