Unfortunately, I am afraid that it would be too difficult for me and presently I have neither enough time nor deep technical knowledge of Webkit to make it right and quick (within your two weeks for instance). However, I will try have a look at least out of curiosity.

Cool, the Blink implementation should serve as somewhat of a guide --- it looks like much of editing/markup's API has not changed too much since the Blink fork, and the Blink innerHTML routine is just a call to createMarkup() with "this" (*this in the case of WebKit) and the element's childNodes --- It probably needs some adjustment to work correctly in WebKit, but following those lines is probably adequate, provided WebKit's createMarkup() is smart enough to figure out the correct insertion mode to use.
