[Qt-interest] Lighthouse enables HTML5 Canvas?

I've been working on "web-ifying" Qt. I've attempted to use Wt (boost, SQL and a Qt-like API) with a .h file and some modifications tot he MOC. That much works for generating a UI. Programing the application logic however becomes a nightmare.  QWidget is drawn and is also a container. HTML elements are discrete browser-drawn items. So now I am wondering if the recent lighthouse additions could be used to solve that problem and just come up with a HTML5 canvas driver? We'd need to provide a server, but why couldn't we draw the application on the HTML5 canvas? Then it's a matter of hooking browser events and you could run Qt in a browser window.


Is there anything like this already in progress?
