Is there a video or screenshot anywhere, I wonder? I'd like to see it in action. Rendering HTML could mean a lot of things.
It's not clear how much of a browser they are reimplementing. Features include XSLT and local storage, scroll bars, "text selection and dragging"? While on the to-do list is "full GIF support" and "CSS shadows." It's such a mixture of things that doesn't sound based on what you'd minimally need for a game UI.
"We've stripped WebKit to the bare essentials" - Sounds like maybe they took the non-rendering part of WebKit (eg layout) and wrote their own renderer(s)?

Fascinating.
