gtkhtml2 will be in the Sun release - there is no chance of anything else
hapenning given the present timelines - so a certain amount of maintenance
will happen to it. To which level it will be completed as a merit of this
is a biot unclear (other than rendering gnome help docs), but its also the
only acessible html view on the horizon. 

The present gtkhtml2 bug list is deceptively short for something
supposedly non-feature complete anyways...
