+=== Advantages ===
+* Having multiple top-level windows means that we will have multiple DOM trees and layer trees exist in the system. The secondary window should have no difference regarding to functionality then the original one, which means that we should be able to launch WebApps, web pages, and multimedia on this secondary window.
+* With the case of "1 UA multi-screen" rendering, contents of remote screen are rendered by primary device, but in the resolution of its display.
+* Open arbitrary number of top-level windows and associate each of them to a display device is doable theoretically, but it depends on the support of hardware capability.
