I'm not convinced that this process qualifies as making a web page "native". After all, this just seems to spawn a new browser instance with some UI stripped away. None of the normal qualities of native applications (native performance, hardware access, exposure to system interfaces/toolkits) apply.

I'd say if your GUI layer is based on the HTML DOM then you're certainly not "native", for any useful definition of "native". Except maybe on ChromeOS, I suppose.
