Integrated Webkit version updated soon?

Question

Hi,
It seems that the Adobe Air runtime integrated Webkit version is very old.
I think it is more or less the one that was integrated in "Safari 5.0.3" released in november 2010.
This version seems to be not performant enough for displaying a lot of recent websites.
I think it is due to the Javascript engine of this Webkit version that is a bit old now.
For example, you can do a test with the well-know "Acid Test" :
package
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.html.HTMLLoader;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.display.StageAlign;
    import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.system.Capabilities;
    import flash.display.NativeWindow;
    public class BrowserTestAS3 extends Sprite
        public function BrowserTestAS3()
            if (stage) {
                onAddedToStage();
            } else {
                addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, onAddedToStage);
        private function onAddedToStage(event:Event = null):void
            stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
            stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
            stage.nativeWindow.width = Capabilities.screenResolutionX - 100;
            stage.nativeWindow.height = Capabilities.screenResolutionY - 100;
            stage.nativeWindow.x = (Capabilities.screenResolutionX - stage.nativeWindow.width) / 2;
            stage.nativeWindow.y = (Capabilities.screenResolutionY - stage.nativeWindow.height) / 2;
            var myHtml:HTMLLoader = new HTMLLoader();
            myHtml.width = stage.stageWidth;
            myHtml.height = stage.stageHeight;
            myHtml.cacheResponse = true;
            myHtml.useCache = true;
            addChild(myHtml);
            myHtml.load(new URLRequest("http://acid3.acidtests.org/"));
And you will see that you obtain very bad results (even worse than some old Internet Explorer versions).
Do you plan to integrate a new version of Webkit in Adobe Air Desktop runtime soon (e.g 3.5) ?
Thank you in advance for your answers,
Cheers,

Bump.
I also think it's about time AIR included a more up-to-date version of Webkit. Is this on the roadmap at all?
Thanks,
