Hi,
The toolbar separated from the document view is novel (OmniWeb <4.0 had the bookmarks inspector as a separate window, but IIRC that was it). OTOH, how much sense does that make? For things like zoom, help etc. it's fine. But buttons like forward, back, history act _on a document_ so separating them from the document view seems off to me. Of course, your kilometrage may vary.
Novel? oh, please... My long-time favourite browser Mosaic had a detachable toolbar since long, long (on unix). Although at first maybe a bit confusing for people accustomed to other browsers, it works pretty well. also a popupmenu with all open documents (on mac) and the *lack* of tabs made the whole experience pretty interesting.
