"I'm also glad to hear that Tiger will have full 64-bit support:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/tiger/64bit.html "

that is completely wrong as apples clearly states on the link you posted

you used the word "full" for 64-bit support

apples page for that link has a headline that says

"64-bit features"
"mind-boggling memory"

they go on to say:

"Tiger’s new 64-bit features enable developers to address massive amount of virtual memory for command-line applications, server applications and computation engines while continuing to fully support 32-bit applications"

"features" does not equate with "full"

it appears to be a bit of an enhancement of what panther now does as well.
