Go to p19, where they talk about their tabbed UI design, and how each tab has its own URL box and controls .... "which around here we've been calling the OMNIBOX".

Go on, sue for trademark infringement. I would. I mean, as I sit here typing in an OmniWeb window, I couldn't possibly think that a browser innovation with a name prefixed 'Omni' as anything to do with you guys now, could I?

I also think that "Omnibox" is a little bit too closely related to OmniWeb.

Yeah, they really should. Jeez.

You'd think that they'd come up with another name for it if they really were going to try to steal it though...
