	A little flame bait? ;-)

	It really doesn't have much to do with Qt... it mostly has to do with 
the lightweight nature of KHTML (and more specifically, the bulky 
nature of Mozilla back when Apple was picking a engine). Safari does 
not use Qt at all. Instead, Apple wrote KWQ, which serves as a 
replacement for Qt that ties KHTML into the native Apple system.

	(Incidentally, KWQ, which is released under a free software license, 
has been ported to GNOME/GTK now too.)
