(To the user, they seem like separate applications.) How that would be best done, though, I have no clue. I know the Office:Mac installer automatically creates all the shortcuts to the different applications, but I'm betting that that kind of installer would require the changes you mentioned. And I have no clue how to separate things like Exposé or the application menu. That said, what I said earlier was targeted at Linux/Windows, where the separation exists already, it just isn't complete.
