What do you mean by that, exactly? In what way would a "Camino" with "Mozilla" functionality differ from Mozilla itself or the stand-alone browser component produced by the Mozilla project, firebird?
I mean that I rather enjoy the Cocoa GUI of Camino, instead of the XUL GUI of Mozilla and Firebird, and I'd love to be able to use a Gecko browser with Cocoa chrome but with more options. Wishful thinking on my part, I'm sure, and I'm by no means complaining about the current choices I have. I was just thinking out loud; I should really catch myself before I hit "send" sometimes.
I imagine this is more of a problem than many of us would like to believe. I love Mozilla, it has all the functionality I want, and even some I don't. Camino is clean and pretty. Geeks want it both ways, especially us mac geeks. The target of this browser is to be clean, simple, and something you can show your mother, a la "This is the internet button...".
Possibly someone could start a branch of Mozilla (not camino) that includes a full set of mac (Cocoa?) widgets instead of XUL. That branch would have to cut off some people though, such as 10.1 users to get all the speed that is expected from Mozilla. At that point though, it makes one wonder if you could write a Cocoa library for XUL, to enhance rendering performance on a Mac. I, personally, don't care. If it has Gecko underneath the hood, then I am a happy camper. Mozilla, Camino, Thunderbird. I dont think I quite agree with Thunderbird/Firebird, but thats a different mailing list.
