"user agent" -- The draft uses the term "user agent" for conformance 
levels and uses the term "web user agent" elsewhere. For the kind of 
requirements the draft makes most other specifications simply use "user 
agent". It would be nice if the draft could align with that. In case the 
deviation is found necessary for some reason it should be consistently 
used. In section 7.4 the term "browser" is also sometimes used. Is that 
intentional?

"web page" -- The definition of Web page seems to include that it cannot 
be embedded so I wonder what "top-level Web page" in section 4 means. If 
this document is indeed aimed at browser vendors (and it sure seems like 
it) it might be good to align terminology with HTML5. For what you want 
here the term "top-level browsing context" would be appropriate. Unlike 
"web page" that term is also defined in a lot more detail so that there 
can be no doubt as to what is meant.

"must not" -- the last paragraph of 7.4.1 has a lowercase must not. I 
assume this is supposed to be uppercase.

"chrome" -- technically scrollbars and such are also part of this, but 
should probably be excluded for most purposes here since positioning 
something over an element with a scrollbar is fine.

I also wonder the excessive use of MUST is warranted given that a lot of 
these things are user interface constraints that might not be applicable 
everywhere.
