Deng, standards compliant browser:

DENG is a small (60k) Modular XML Browser, capable of rendering XForms, SVG, XHTML, arbitrary XML with CSS (e.g. RSS), XFrames and any other custom XML namespace in the flash plugin.” They have a demo of Googel, in XHTML and XForms with CSS3. Via EnterFrame.

IE takes around 4-5 years to get a substantial user base for a new version, flash takes 1.5 years, google takes 0. The faster feedback-design loop and faster new developments can be taken to the user by keeping the code small or putting it on a server. Deng takes new standards compliant code to users by keeping the code small.
