If we're talking about creating a browser from scratch, it's nearly impossible to implement one without a huge investment of both time and money. Browsers are unbelievably complex, and the new features are being added at such a pace that you need to run twice as fast just to keep up.

If we're talking about forking an existing browser, that is doable. But you still need a huge investment to understand, change and extend that code. Once again, browsers are unbelievably complex beasts.

Heh, you're better off designing a new markup language and then implementing a browser to render that.

Given the current state of the web, this might not be a bad idea
