  I actually really meant this from a UI perspective where the _screens_ from different applications can flow back and forth between each other. But data is an equally important point to bring up.

    There's a negative aspect to the multi app ui history model as well though in that its easy to create confusing app launch and back button behaviors. Example: if I jump from my app to the browser then hit home then later relaunch the app and I'm confused because I start in the browser. Having the ui stack capability across apps is great but as a developer it requires some extra effort to avoid confusing incidents like this for users.

        Hmm.. you are right I've imagined this behavior. I could've sworn I'd seen this happen a number of times but looking back now I'm not seeing it.
