Oh, many agree with you (including me). However this is an area where the
Free Software nature of the KDE community makes things a bit harder. We
can't decide what the Konqueror/KHTML developers work on - that's their
prerogative. Luckily some are working on the WebKit KPart, as is said, and
once it is good enough (tm) it might become default one day.
