I agree with Kevin - one default HTML engine is what we really want, users can 
install WebKit part. But on the other hand - WebKit really works better (even 
technologicaly is just worst) in many cases and we can loose Konqueror users 
completely by switching to Firefox and I don't want to support FF and KDE 
integration.

So we have two options:
1. make WebKit default engine (or even Rekonq as default browser - I know, Kevin 
will kill me for this option ;-)
2. make it easier to install WebKit part - for users it's not very convenient to 
install something called kwebkitpart - A KPart based on QtWebKit - using 
PackageKit...
