If I create a new UI around Gecko, the 95% majority of my product is 
still Gecko, so I think Mozilla contributors have to be credited fully. 
Same for Seamonkey, Camino, KMeleon etc.pp..

I agree about the documentation (as in: end user manual), it's pointless 
and technically hard to put the credits there.
