--- Comment #2 from 9juhnke at informatik.uni-hamburg.de ---
The same reasons speak for an address bar as for an address bar in a browser.
There is no another address bar. An address bar is a dialog box, you can add or
remove something. In my opinion, the possibilities listed are monolog fields,
either-or-fields, and widely dispersed.

I work with long documents. It says in the text: see page 443. When I do that,
I can hardly find my original page afterwards, I want to continue where I was
originally. I would like to be able to click "Open in new window" without
leaving my current position. That's only an example. There are many cases for a
sensible, good use of an address bar. In modern browsers, it is also used to
enter a search phrase. This also lends itself to a document viewer.

However, it only becomes useful with URLs that contain the page or anchor and
are displayed dynamically, depending on the current position of my document in
the visible area. Then I can copy to paste in another instance (open in new
window), or save or share. Or do many other wonderful, simple and useful things
with it.
