[MacRuby-devel] PBI - HTML and CSS in HotCocoa

[elliottcable]

This sounds like an idea with potential.

Perhaps a new framework for creating "HTML" applications, that takes  
the HTML and uses a WebView - but instead of actually ending up with a  
WebView, the data is pulled out and passed onto a true Cocoa  
interface, kinda thing?
