surf is the most sensible interface to stuff on the internet, it uses
WebKit, which certainly...nothing is stopping you from writting
an html page and using that in surf, in fact there are plenty of javascript
editors you could include in the page and have an editor.

no, i think surf is not the solution to the problem Christoph brought up.

surfs fifo patch doesn't currently allow for injection of html or execution
of javascript. it simply allows you to control the interface via a file.

maybe injection/execution of javascript is doable already, but i'm not
aware of it.

we want to move away from ncurses and GTK. and just use Xlib,
so it would be a fifo interface for Xlib.

Not really an editor, a toolkit to build apps, some apps need text editing.
