Almost:

> +@defun xwidget-webkit-load-html xwidget text &optional base-uri
> +Load @var{text}, a string, into @var{xwidget}, which should be a
> +WebKit xwidget.  It treats @var{text} as HTML markup, which will be

Instead of the last sentence:

  Any HTML markup in @var{text} will be processed by @var{xwidget}
  while rendering the text.

> +Optional argument @var{base-uri}, which should be a string, specifies
> +the location of web resources specified through relative links, such

  Optional argument @var{base-uri}, which should be a string,
  specifies the absolute location of the web resources referenced by
  @var{text}, to be used for resolving relative links in @var{text}.

Here' I'd like to say something like

  This is in contrast with loading HTML using ... which requires to
  create temporary files for storing the markup.

But I don't know what to write instead of "...".  What was the method
which existed earlier that you wanted to improve?

> +BASE_URI should be a string containing a URI that is used to locate
> +resources described by relative URLs, and if not specified, defaults
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"resources with relative URLs" sounds better to me.

Thanks.
