Safari-influenced feature requests

With so much attention on Safari, it's made me think of a few things
that would spruce up OmniWeb.
- A single click on the "lightning bolt" URL icon in the browser window
toolbar selects the entire URL (faster than a triple click).
- Drag a text selection of a URL into the browser window causes that
window to open that URL.
- A toggle enables a status bar at the bottom of the browser window that
does "the normal thing" and shows a link destination, browser status,
or JavaScript window.status.
- Support the favicon.ico stuff.
- Truncate really *long* titles of bookmarks to prevent the mega-wide
OmniWeb -> Windows menu.
- A Safari/playlist-like bookmark manager. Since OW does not open
multiple bookmark folders simultaneously, a single window interface
makes more sense.
- Somehow synchronize bookmarks between OW and Safari.
- Support user-provided style sheets for font and color preferences.
- Add the character encoding to OW's Browser menu (the equivalent
toolbar item takes up space I'd like to reclaim).
- Support more aggressive caching.
- New browser windows cascade should diagonally from top-left to
bottom-right, like in days of old. I really dislike the current
behavior because it's harder to select rearmost browser windows.
It makes me prefer Mozilla-ish ugly tabbed windows.
