"Embed a browser in another application" is perfectly clear. Servo is designed so that it can be linked with other applications, and displayed within windows that the host application controls.

WebKit is also embeddable in this way, but other browser engines are not as mature in this area. There was talk of Servo using the same API that WebKit uses for embedding, probably to help developers transition from WebKit to Servo:

"The proposed plan is to use WebKit's API as a template or copy it completely."
