Just Minimize, and yes, it should be on the left. I don't know how  
useful Maximize really is -- I never use it on OS X, maybe because  
the implementation is so weird and inconsistent. If no one has  
objections to getting rid of Maximize, I'd say ditch it.

Yep.

Yep.

Hmm... I would prefer if there were only one way of temporarily  
putting a window away, and having that be via Minimize. If people  
really want window shading, then I can't really argue it, but we  
should allow it only if we can also put the window into that state  
using a menu command (ie: something like 'Shade' should exist along  
with 'Minimize' and 'Close').

Cool.

I suggest we just get rid of titlebar icons completely if we're not  
going to be able to use them as a draggable proxy icons. The only  
function they serve if we keep them in their current state is just to  
be able to tell what app a document is open in, and since we want to  
lessen the importance of applications, they don't seem worth having.
