+The idea behind showing frecency results immediately below the URL field is an attempt to give users some awesomebar-style benefit without having to type. Part of what makes the awesomebar powerful is that, with a keyboard, typing is the fastest way for a user to quickly narrow the field of what suggestions are appropriate.  On a mobile device, typing is not as easy, so there's value to offering our best guesses as to what the user is looking for before they need to type at all.
+(We could, alternatively, try using a list of most visited sites rather than the frequency <i>and</i> recency set).
+That said, once people have to start typing, we should offer awesomebar results:

+When a user has entered or chosen a site to go to, and the page begins loading, we display the following:

+This bar fades after the page has finished loading.  The user can tap on the "stop" button to cancel the page load.
