*Native WebKit*

WebKit is delivered the same way as XULRunner now.
WebKit Ports to be used:
# Linux - [WebKitGtk+|http://webkitgtk.org/]
# Mac OS X - (?) 
# Windows - [WebKitCairo Port | http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingCairoOnWindows]

\* Both GTK 2 and GTK 3 supported

Advantages:
* Stable WebKit version for visual editor and browsersim
* Some features for VPE can be implemented in WebKit as it was done for xulrunner
* Windows 64 bit support through WebKit Cairo port
* GTK2 and GTK3 support

Disadvantages:
* We have to build it under all supported platforms
* Forked codebase maintenance

Performance:
* The same as for SWT browser
