Not to mention the use Jeff originally mentioned - gnomecc.  Gnomecc *has* to be 
accessible sometime at or near 2.0 (much preferably with 2.0 and not later) - and we 
think doing this with a ported gtkhtml1 may not be feasible.

The alternative would be to produce gnomecc with two different HTML widgets (for 
instance in 2.0 vs. 2.0.1), which seems like a bad thing.
