Rendering engine is not the issue. It's the JIT - firefox could publish a browser, it would just need to have interpreted javascript and it'd be useless.

Well, then it is good, I did not make a JIT (only XPath AST, not even bytecode)

Although I have been thinking about making a JIT. Building on for x86 is easy enough, but then it is useless for ARM. I would not want to build two JITs. Or four with 32/64-bits.

If you needed Jit for JavaScript there is nothing on iOS stopping you from using JavascriptCore.
