## Pull request overview
This PR adds an editorial clarification to the `minimal-ui` display mode definition by comparing it to the behavior of `window.open()` with the `"popup"` feature. This addresses issue #1023, which requested clearer guidance on distinguishing between `browser` and `minimal-ui` display modes.
**Changes:**
- Added a comparison explaining that `minimal-ui` is comparable to opening a window via `window.open()` with `features` set to `"popup"`, providing a concrete reference point for understanding the expected UI behavior.

The markup pattern `"<code>popup</code>"` is inconsistent with similar patterns elsewhere in the document. For consistency with other parts of the specification (e.g., lines 1755, 1758 which use backticks for quoted string values), consider using backticks instead of HTML code tags: `"popup"` rather than `"<code>popup</code>"`.
