I also think this is good suggestion. In the wiki page, we can list any
problems between WebKit1 and WebKit2.
(e.g. missing API, features, functionality or status on elementary and so
on).

We don't ask application side any agreement or opinion about this yet. In
Tizen, it seems to me almost applications are using WebKit2,
but, personally, I'm not sure it yet. If we list these issues in the wiki as
well, I think it would help to talk this again in future,
as laszlo suggestion.
