Exactly. And IE7 (starting with beta 2) will force the address bar at
all time. Because of hacks, phishing attacks, etc.. Everything clearly
worded like this:

"We think the address bar is also important for users to see in pop-up
windows. A missing address bar creates a chance for a fraudster to forge
an address of their own. To help thwart that, IE7 will show the address
bar on all internet windows to help users see where they are."
