Thanks for the Q's. I was looking for some for the FAQ page :)

It is stand-alone. It uses XUL and the Mozilla Application Framework,
but the package includes a copy of xulrunner and all the dependencies.
You don't need to install anything else.

Incidentally, the download for Linux is a tad oversized because it's a
beta. The 1.0 release will be 7.8MB instead of 9.3MB, and in the future
(longer term) we hope to trim down xulrunner a bit to make the download
more reasonable.

The viewer supports x86-Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. I hope to support
x86-64 Linux for the final release, but I don't know... I'm trying to
tack down a bug with 64-bit libraries. And if I can get someone to make
an RPM for PPC Linux then we'll support that too :)

Cheers,
Daniel.
