FYI,, I seriously considered doing that years ago. I built my own mail and 
web servers in Ada for this reason, and browsers were the next frontier. The 
effort of a passable rendering engine stopped me (I wasn't going to support 
Javascript or plugins of any kinds, as they were precisely what I wanted to 
avoid in the first place, so the effort there was irrelevant).
