WOW. If they implement all of that it will be fantastic.
I know there may be quite a few users who would question the removal of 
workspaces by default, but:
A) they're still optional
B) I used to use them all the time, but I've found that even without all 
of the extra features/improvements in this document, task switching in 
Unity is easier, so I rarely use workspaces now.

+1 to the middle click idea and to having a keyboard shortcut. My only 
thought is that Ctrl+W is not intuitive for close.
Since any letter might represent an appropriate word in one language but 
not another, I wonder if delete might not be more intuitive and 
international?
