Webkit supports much of html5, certainly the parts we care about most
which are embedding animation and audio w/out flash.

Karma doesn't aim to develop a new run-time but use an existing run-time
like Titanium or just regular firefox and extend that run-time to take
advantage of Sugar's special features, particularly collaboration.
