The SDLMAME homepage has featured that terminology since I posted the first test version. I used that term heavily when the port was originally launched because it was a placeholder for an experience that a lot of people who frequently use Linux/BSD/OS X were already familiar with. It's probably a bit outdated given the rise of Chrome, which is even more fanatical about ignoring native look-and-feel than Firefox and MAME are ;-)
Also, it occurs to me that expecting people to have read said homepage given it's been over a year since you've had to go there to download the app is dumb. My bad.

HLSL itself (the MAME feature) has been immature and fairly buggy until quite recently, and its author is now proposing a fairly major shakeup of MAME rendering on all platforms. Both of those mean that a "premature" port would be wasted effort, and in the meantime cgwg is doing a fantastic job with his GLSL CRT shader so that's taken away the immediate pressure.
