Perhaps it is just a fact to accept that html/css rendering is a
complex business and we have to accept its weight?

That seems excessive! I can't see that CSS rendering is particularly more complex than the Tk canvas widget -- certainly not to justify several orders of magnitude more code. Presumably there is a lot of extra stuff in there?

Personally I would have hoped for tkhtml but that has reached a dead
end currently. Any voluntaries?

Has it? I haven't heard anything for a while, but last I looked TkHTML 3 was really quite impressive, and much more lightweight than Gecko or WebKit. CVSTrac seems to show no activity since March, however.
