Actually, Apple has at least given lip service to the effect that the intend
to share... here's an excerpt:
-----
The good news for Konqueror: Apple, which said that it will be "a good open
source citizen [and] share its enhancements with the Konqueror open source
community", has today sent all changes, along with a detailed changelog, to
the KHTML developers.

I got that from here:
http://dot.kde.org/1041971213/
I'm really hoping the next version of Konqueror catches up with Safari (or at
least the other Linux browsers) in terms of compatibility by the next
release.
Cheers,
Sean
