Tabs

[Jesper]

It could be said that the entire reason I stayed with OmniWeb was
their tabs and it would be more right than wrong.

The tabs are awesome and I intend to steal all of their current
functionality and then some. Not everything needs to be there right
away, though.

Here's everything that I'd like to have in order of priority, and
therefore in roughly the order it should be implemented:

* Page title shown
* Close button
* Ability to reorder tab
* Ability to mark tabs that have fully loaded since you last left them
* Algorithm for opening tabs in proximity to parent tab
* Ability to move tabs across windows
* Ability to hoist tab to window of its own
* Ability to copy tab
* Page title truncated depending on other visible tabs (or just all
other tabs in the same window)
* Ability to select and close/move/copy/hoist many tabs
* Ability to more deeply organize related or ancestral tabs, by
coloring or hierarchy or otherwise grouping
* Ability to "age" old tabs to show how long it has been since they
were last active
* Ability to selectively de-age an aged tab depending on activity.
Switching past in quick succession does close to nothing, scrolling a
bit does a little, selecting text does a lot and navigating or loading
a resource as a result of user interaction completely de-ages the tab.
(Rotating ad-banners or long polling shouldn't ruin this scheme in the
background or the foreground.)

I'm open to suggestions and reordering within reason. Mainly I want to
concretize.
