I know Hypercard GS doesn't have the capability to be a WWW browser.
Among reasons, it has a 30,000 character limit, you can't have graphics
in a page of text, and the field doesn't support multiple font, sizes,
and styles.  Unless you think any of these are not important, then
something can be done with HCGS.  This wouldn't be anything different
than lynx, so a purely text based WWW browser would be just as useful
(and faster, take less memory).  I don't know anything about HS to
comment about it.  Of course we do have to wait for a TCP implementaion
to come out for the GS before it could be used.

Of course a html editor is very doable (non WYSIWYG, still limited to
30,000 characters) and could possibly appear in a couple of months...
