The interface is (so far at least) definitely a minor evolution.  Of course
we knew that - the stated plan was always "interface in 7, engine in 8".
Some of the subtleties are really nice tho' - the visual differentiation of
the current address for example.

The engine does seem markedly improved tho' - it still has lots of quirks
but it's hard to say whether they're quirks with the browser or the HTML
being viewed in some cases (after some argument the browser defaults to
standards mode).

The simple fact that it passes the Acid test speaks volumes about the
standards improvements... now they have to focus on rendering speed.
Standards mode is slooooooooooow.  ;^)
