I think this pretty much summarizes the situation...
Updating (and keeping updated) Konqueror as a web browser is way beyond the current developers' possibility at the moment.
Honestly I can't see this happening, not even in the long term unless someone else comes along and starts working on it.
But again it would be a rather daunting task.
