-Epiphany aims to utilize the simplest interface possible for a browser. Keep
-in mind that simple does not necessarily mean less powerful. We believe
-the commonly used browsers of today are too big, buggy, and bloated. Epiphany
-addresses simplicity with a small browser designed for the web -- not mail,
-newsgroups, file management, instant messenging or coffee making. The UNIX
-philosophy is to design small tools that do one thing, and do it well.
-
-Epiphany also address simplicity with modularity to make a light and powerful
-application. If something can be implemented using external applications
-or components, we use it rather than wasting resources in the web browser.
-Integration will be achived with CORBA, Bonobo, and the ever popular
-command line.
-
-Mail will be handled with your favorite e-mail application (Evolution, pine,
-mutt, balsa, pronto, whatever).

- <para>Standards compliance:</para>
- <para>
-The introduction of non-standard features in browsers could make it difficult
-or impossible to use alternative products like Epiphany if developers embrace
-them. Alternative (standards complying) browsers could not be able to
-fully access web sites making use of these features. The success of
-non-standard features can ultimately lead to forcing one browser, on
-one platform to dominate the market. Standards compliance ensures the
-freedom of choice. Epiphany aims to achieve this.

-Epiphany is going to follow version 1.0 of the gnome
-user guidelines. Unless there are very seriuos reasons to make an
-exception not following it will be considered a bug.
-"I follow the HIG only when I like it" is not a legitimate approach.
-Any areas where we diverge from the HIG will communicated
-to the HIG team for future consideration.

-Epiphany's main goal is to be integrated with the gnome desktop.
-We dont aim to make epiphany usable outside Gnome. If someone will like
-to use it anyway, it's just a plus. Ex: Making people happy that
-don't have control center installed is not a good reason
-to have mime configuration in epiphany itself.
