Actually, whether or not you can edit anything depends entirely on what
web site you're looking at. But anyway, the official guidelines say
nothing about editing. There are two criteria: 1) managing data for, or
interfacing with, a digital peripheral; 2) re-creating a familiar
physical device.

Safari fits neither of these. Neither does iChat, really, but that's no
reason for me to complain less. Just the opposite.

Apple can't claim interface consistency until at least their behavior
is consistent with their own guidelines.
