#4Am I the only one who thought this was some attack on Chrome? Whenever I hear talk about browser chrome I always think that Google's name choice was a little confusing. Probably best in the end, though, since it's a catchy name.

#5I can't tell if this is an alternative to something like QtWebKit. There doesn't seem to be any emphases on native code integration.

Actually, check out Adobe Air (for ajax developers). Basically it's webkit as a desktop app and pretty mature.
I've used it in the past, but I think Mozilla has a big opportunity here as Adobe has pretty much abandoned the web desktop aspect of AIR to focus on flash/flex for mobile.
Also, Adobe removes some of the best parts of webkit like web workers and I recently found a giant performance bug in their javascript engine that only exists in AIR.

#8How is this different from xulrunner? In reading the description it sounds like a way to make a webapp behave like a desktop app but it's a little unclear.

I'm not too familiar with what xulrunner does, but this looks like it is very close to Air. Define a desktop application with html & js, but then have lots of additional hooks to make it a desktop app, playing nice w/ the environment.
