@morrick and I were jawing on Twitter and I think we have a name (which as it turns out we both independently came to), but I'll hold that for the "test alpha."
Small frownie: OpenGL acceleration (and possibly WebGL) is a no-go. This is Apple's fault; Tiger PPC only comes with OpenGL 1.x, and even in Leopard only about half the supported graphics chipsets for PPC support OpenGL 2. For example, the iBook G4 with its Radeon R200-series chip is still OpenGL 1.x, even with 10.5.8; so is the MDD with its stock Radeon 9000. Mozilla's code absolutely requires support for non-powers-of-two textures, so that's that. I shortcircuited the compositor to always render in software mode, although there still seem to be some graphics glitches which I can't tell if they're my bug or Mozilla's bug.
The list of blockers keeps building up in Bugzilla, so this will necessarily delay a public proof-of-concept, but it's coming as soon as they clean out that blocker list.
