@Reza Jelveh: That's probably because it didn't. It came from the KDE peeps.
WebKit was originally based on KDE's KHTML engine, but that was forked over six years ago. I haven't looked at all of this in a while, but my recollection (and I could be wrong) is that the version of KHTML they started with was far from having even complete CSS2 support, but they loved the simplicity of the code base. In fact, there was so much code coming from the WebKit side that it became a bit of a public disagreement for a while.
