26. Also disable sound in background windows
27. Force-wrap really long content (like long URLs posted here )
28. If I accidently type something in the location bar when I am at page, reloading loads the address in the location bar, not the displayed page

i'm easy.

1. text searching like in mozilla/opera/etc - you can just start typing and the first text matching what you've typed so far keeps being updated (highlighted), rather than having to do a cmd-f

2. optional tab completion in the location bar, defaulting to the shortest possible match.

well, so far those are the only things i /really/ want.

1) Resist the temptation to bloat (in particular when it comes to RSS support; leave it out!)
2) designMode support (Mozilla calls this Midas)
3) A decent JavaScript console, Mozilla-style. Safari is a user-centric browser, but people do have to code for it, and right now debugging in Safari is even worse than debugging in IE/Windows.
4) LiveConnect support
5) Client-side XSLT support. If people insist on RSS support, it could be provided through this.
6) More CSS3, particularly nth-child() and its relatives.
7) SVG, with XHTML+SVG support.

Those are my major issues at this point.

A file upload manager for form-based uploads. Just something simple to show the file's progress and get around the built-in 60 second timeout (Safari should be smart enough to realize that it's still doing something).

I'm currently using the latest Camino nightly build.
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.o...ightly/latest/

I find it faster and more stable than Safari. It is also much better than the public 0.7 release on Panther.
