Uhm.. about adblock improvements, take a look at the "AdblockRevolution" 
branch. While improvements in general are always possible, I fear the 
ones listed there has just been quite implemented. Anyway, if you like 
adblock code, there is BIG space for you there to work. Just take a look 
at the code and you'll see how much rules conventions are not yet 
implemented.
If you prefer do something different, just ping me another time and I'll 
think something different for you.

Regards,
Andrea.
