Just a few comments :

w3 is implemented in Emacs lisp and thus needs Emacs to run.

Gnuscape term might be misleading : w3 bears no resemblance to  
Netscape (be it a good or bad thing, depends on your point of view ...  
;-)

I tested Gnuscape today and found out it doesn't e.g. display images  
or understand HTML tables.

I'm not sure if it's possible to render bold and/or italic text using  
different fonts ?  Didn't dig deep enough to see if it's possible or  
not.

In short : I'd rather use OmniWeb on my NeXT if it was, say, 10 times  
faster ;) - ok, ok, guess it's a hardware issue, too ;)
