Personally, I agree 100%. Mozilla is the easiest choice, and a lot of
the BeOS features someone mentioned as not being used in Mozilla could
(as far as I know) be relatively easily implemented and incorporated in
Mozilla. We'll get the benefit of any open-source modules that are written
for mozilla as well. It just seems like a good idea, to me.
