I think qmlweb and Qt for wasm are fundamentally different enough
(reimplementing Qt Quick vs recompiling it for a new platform) that they
are not mutually exclusive. We could accept either or both upstream,

It could be interesting to make them API-compatible so that users can
move between them with minimal effort. For example by providing a “QtQuick.QMLEngine()”
Javascript API that can be used interchangeably with “QmlWeb.QMLEngine()”.

  var div = document.getElementById('embed');
  var engine = new QmlWeb.QMLEngine(div);
  engine.loadFile('qml/main.qml');
  engine.start();
