Webkit is a fork of KHTML (and KJS, KDE's JavaScript engine) but I get
the impression that it has benefited from Apple's legion of paid &
full time engineers.
The initial development by Apple was done stealthily, and they made
significant changes (some of which were quite MacOS specific) so it
was not possible to reintegrate their modifications. KHTML & Webkit
retain separate codebases, then.
SquirrelFish seems interesting & relevant to this conversation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit
(also see <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KHTML>)
