Two years after it selected open-source rendering engine KHTML as the basis of its Safari Web browser, Apple has proposed resolving compatibility conflicts by scrapping that code base in favor of its own.
"One thing you may want to consider eventually is back-porting (WebCore) to work on top of (KDE), and merging your changes into that," Apple engineer Maciej Stachowiak wrote in an e-mail dated May 5. "I think the Apple trees have seen a lot more change since the two trees diverged, although both have useful changes. We'd be open to making our tree multi-platform."
