I'm for B. WebKitGtk is becoming more and more stable and all
html-related applications in GNOME Desktop (epiphany, devhelp, yelp,
evolution...) are going to use it or are yet using in development
branch.

But note that WebKitGtk is only a html rendering system: any stuff
related to secure connection and similar should be managed directly by
you,

PS there should be a Google summer of code project this year that is
planning to to add a "more info" plugin using some HTML view
