This sounds weird to me. We've just abandoned the utter disaster that 
were the nautilus views - now you want to bring them back in epiphany? 
What's the advantage of viewing a PDF in a browser window as opposed to 
viewing one in a specialized viewer? I'll say the same about eog; if the 
mozilla backend allows it we should open a separate eog window when 
clicking on a .jpg hyperlink instead of trying to show it within the 
browser.

Agreed.

Good idea! Perhaps some integration with the 'personal webpage' would be 
nice here. (or what's that project called I read about, where you put 
file in some special nautilus folder and at once you can view it as a 
webpage in your browser?)

Dead on! :-)
