Note that you did use XML, not HTML. HTML would be "<ins>WEB</ins>".

If you would have checked 'textual' there would be the possibility to
embed lynx - available for most platforms.

The *ultimate* cross-platform solution would be an HTML rendering
library that comes as a Ruby extension. There is a lot of Free
Software HTML renderering libraries out there. It should be possible
to write Ruby bindings for one of them. The graphical output could be
done using Tk or any other toolkit that allows graphical output and
is capable of reading in mouse moves and clicks.
