Did tying the browser and the mail&news client together made sense in
the first place? Does it make sense now?

Why is salting a problem? The right way to set up the defaults is to
modify the default preferences in the Mozilla installation directory.
Mozilla will then automatically copy those defaults to new accounts.

If that's a requirement, it is a bad sign about the setup of the
environment. Password protection between users is an OS-level thing.

Based on discussions at the local Macintosh user group, bank acceptance
is indeed critical. (I can use Mozilla for banking, because I'm a
customer of a bank that is clueful enough to not block browsers.)
Another main issue (again from the local MUG), is worse performance on
older Macs (running Mac OS 8.5...9.1).
Example #1 of a user sticking to N4:
* Wants to have multiple profiles.
* Doesn't want to upgrade to Mac OS 9 or Mac OS X and to use multiple
accounts
* Doesn't want to implement profiles for IE or Opera in AppleScript.
* Thinks Mozilla/N6 is too slow.
Example #2 of a user sticking to N4:
* Wants to get to the bank => no N6.1PR1, no Opera
* Doesn't want to use MS products => no IE.
* Thinks iCab is too much a lite browser.
* Is afraid of unbranded Mozilla.
