I hope that Omni just uses Apple's WebCore framework as-is, in which 
case they wouldn't
have to do anything. This will be easier if Apple eventually moves 
WebCore into
/System/Library/Frameworks as a standard facility.

This would be preferable, because it would reduce the number of things 
that need to be
updated. It would be a pain to have to update Apple's WebCore and also 
Omni's
modified version. It would also save disk space and probably have vm 
benefits.
