This may just be a case of conflicting terminology for the same thing.

The 'intent picker' would always be a trusted UI component in a Browser 
environment, displayed whenever an intent is invoked from a web page. 
When the user selects an 'intent handler' from the picker the behavior 
will be to either open a new web page pointing to the 'intent target' 
or, tbd, a non-visible window with identical functionality that is 
maintained behind-the-scenes by the UA (as requested by Clarke above - 
hence only the web page that invoked the initial intent remains displayed).
