The first step is to have DOM support in WebKitGtk. An initial patch is
available [1] but it has a number of problems that must still be fixed
in order for it to land. If you look at the discussion in the referenced
bug, you'll see that I offered to take a look at (some of) the problems,
but the reality is that I've been very busy during the last weeks and
haven't been able to do much. I still hope to be able to deliver
something in the following weeks, but if anyone beats me to it, I won't
complain.

Cheers,
