An obvious concern with changes like this is that sites will certainly break. Scripts that check navigator.userAgent do that in most weird ways.

For example, there used to be sites that broke if "4." was found _anywhere_ in the string, because they assumed running under Netscape 4 then (or IE 4? I don't remember all details).
