To give him credit, Apple use to use IE as their standard until Safari, so who's to say they wont do it again?
Now to explain why they will not leave the Safari name behind. Safari is on Window's and Mac, with tons of users. Omniweb, being strictly for Mac, limit's its users which means less reasons for developers to test for it's rendering engine to ensure it renders their web site correctly. Now yes, Omniweb is the mos advanced web browser I have ever seen with every rendering engine you could ever need built in, but Apple has poured a lot of work in Safari and they aren't going to abandon it. Which is good for us, because we don't want web developers to EVER get lazy and only code for IE again. That was just a horrible thing and I am glad few web developers still do it.
