I would like to see options in the preferences of Safari,
NetNewsWire and other WebKit apps for the following:
• Defining your own Accept* HTTP headers. Please just give me a set
of text fields so I can write my own headers! Especially Accept-
Language, that's the most important—my system language is set to
British English, yet Safari sends out requests with "en-us". :-/
Aside from the general feature you propose, your specific example
sounds like a bug. I'd encourage you to report it at
bugzilla.opendarwin.org, since a fix would benefit 1000x the people
who would know how to customize their HTTP headers.
• Ability to set 1pt to 1/72 inches, and read the screen DPI for
digital devices. Unless the screen can report it's own DPI, whis
will probably require a large lookup table with Apple and other
manufacturers' displays enumerated. (FontBook has something similar
for converting copyright strings into publishers' names). This
would be a preference in the apps that use WebKit, and you can
default to off if you want, but I need the sanity of a HTML client
that will display a 10cm line at 10cm on screen, in print, in
braille, on a TV, on a phone, wherever.
I think it's a worthy problem, but when Apple tackles it (and it must
be coming up, as monitors keep developing), I hope they do it at a
system level instead of just in WebKit. It's an unappealing prospect
to me to wind up with an effective zoom factor for web content, but
not PDF and text content in all the non-WebKit apps I use.

Is there anyone else that would welcome these abilities?
