It means moving the UI from being based off of mshtml.dll/jscript.dll, to be based off of WebKit instead.

Possibly, but I don't expect to get a direct Linux build out of it. What I do hope for is that removing the dependency on the mshtml stack will make MoI function a lot better under WINE.

I'm still not sure if that is going to work or not (it depends on WINE handling some other stuff like translating Direct3D calls well) but some early tests did seem promising.
