while i personaly would luv to see web browsing on xbmc. mainly for more detailed news than available through rss.
but while it would be nice to have websites like the bbc parsed in their full glory i cant help but be worried that by giving the avarage layman user access to the web that we wil open up a bad can of worms. allowing a open door to spyware/viruses/hackers etc.
i think it would be useful to integrate the web browser in a controlled manner to allow for example rss feeds to be displayed properly. and for scripts to be able utilise the built in web engine.
but removing access for the end user to specifically brows to a url.
