Nick, this is mainly the fear by small advertisers that browser makers can circumvent the limitations by making a search-bar or tool-bar that serves the same function as a third party and reports all browsing history to a certain entity. (phone home). That's why it is a requirement on the browser. Because there are companies in advertisement who have their own browser. One can also imagine widgets from certain large providers. --Rigo
