Also, things would be much better if OmniWeb shipped with a better set of blocking rules (PithHelmet is a good example of this, or perhaps there could be a mechanism to automatically fetch the rules for Ad-block). Right now, one has to do quite a bit of fiddling with the preferences before most ads are blocked.
Thirded ... the last thing you suggest is enhancement to the OW code (rather than an enhancement to data), but it would be a big win for a little code.

Allowing a blocklist to be imported from a text file, one blocking pattern per line, would enable some of the excellent blocklists already around, such as Filterset.G, to be imported.
