It might be possible to use one of those engines as Emacs's rendering engine, indeed. To me, it wouldn't seem like an good solution to the problem at hand because I don't think it would allow me to control theweb-browser from Emacs (e.g., how would I access from Elisp the contentof pages generated from HTML?).
JS / DOM has worked this out quite well, and the implementations provide a security model.
So it'd be more like embedding Emacs inside a normal browser. It's not a bad idea, but I don't think it'll provide as many benefits from Emacs's point of view.
It would be fantastic to be able to use Emacs directly inside text areas of Firefox. There's a simple plugin that lets users edit text from text boxes in an external text editor, but that's nowhere nearly as nice as having a little Emacs window displayed right in place of the text box.
