If someone does this, it would be nice if this "WebItem" would have an abstract API for initializing the backend. There are platforms (e.g. WinRT) which face similar challenges with the onboard web browser engine. Obviously there will be a PIMPL in any case, but it might help if the plugin is geared toward this approach from the beginning.
