Webkit?

WebKit ships with the OS, just like IE's MSHTML/Trident engine. Does being open source make it less "native" somehow?

The argument that webkit is not native because it is open source is a plausible reason to exclude Safari - hence "webkit?" rather than "webkit!"

In my opinion, claims about nativeness are on a par with those about magicalness - but marketing flacks don't get paid based upon sound ontology.
