I was testing hv3 for quite awhile when the project was still active
and would like to point out some stupid mistakes made in the article:
1) it's NOT h3v or h3w - it's hv3 (Html Viewer 3)!
2) it's written primarily in TCL, not in C;
3) both dillo and hv3 do support SSL (hv3 requires TLS for that and
TLS is incorporated in the startkits, provided in the official website)
4) in both articles it is said "developerS". Actually 99% of the code
(some parts were borrowed from another TCL browser called
"BrowseX"(http://wiki.tcl.tk/2136)) was written by one genius named
Daniel Kennedy. 
5) Dillo actually launches a lot faster than hv3, but hv3 renders pages
really fast too.

And few comments from my side... Hv3 has a lot better bookmark manager
when compared to dillo. Furthermore, in addition to bookmark, setting
and cookie saving it can save history and has autocompletion. It has
highly advanced css support - it even passes ACID2 test (something what
microsoft with their internet exploiter was trying achieve for quite
awhile...). As it's primarily written in TCL, it's platform
independent, doesn't require any external dependencies, can run
straight from USB flash memory (it can also save its db there too).
Unlike dillo, hv3 also supports frames. Finally, even it's considered to
be alpha state software, at least when javascript support is disabled,
it is pretty stable. 

If you'd like to know something more about hv3, I think, you should
still be able to contact Daniel - danielk1977  AT  gmail  DOT  com.

BTW, I don't know the current status of SEE project, I just know that
the last time I checked (half a year ago or so) it had really many
problems.
