I actually like the File/Quit option, but I'll admit you have a with the zoom-level. But to be truly document oriented, would that mean remembering the position of the scroll bar? Or is that heading too far in the spatial direction? Please correct as necessary. >> But there is no editing of webpages (unless you count a wiki).

It is hard to fathom their mental model of a web >browser and how it relates to web pages, I can tell you. Hehe, yeah, true. But if we continue to open links in the current window I think we're already not document-oriented. Each page is a "document" so should get another window, right? We're "view-oriented" if there is such a thing. >I don't think you want people to think of the Web as >something as confusing as a room full of mirrors. Fair enough, but my point was that a web browser shows just an image of a document. Perhaps a room of recently-taken photos would be a better example. See below. >I've opened a bug for the same issue with Evince, and at least their >developers seem to agree with me: > >http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302034 I agree with your point on evince. The difference with evince is that the window does correspond to a fixed document on my computer. To make my point, should http://bash.org/?random1 be regarded as a document?
