Yeah, that's a good suggestion.

This too.

This would certainly be nice for advanced users, but most of the Mac
OS market prefers simplicity of use over this kind of flexibility. This
isn't to say that we won't do something like this ... it just isn't on
the top of the list. I can certainly see this being useful, but I
expect that most people are going to see that panel a very few times
since they'll set the behavior to always accept. Actually, the default
setting now is to always accept cookies, so only web weenies will ever
turn the panel on ;)

Doh! I thought we'd fixed this.
