I appreciate the selectable backup location, but I'd also like to chose where my .ofocus file gets saved, as opposed to always saving in ApplicationSupport. Makes it easier for me to handle my own syncs/backups.

Technically, your .ofocus file can be anywhere, so long as there's a symlink pointing to it in Application Support where OmniFocus is looking for it.

Can this be handled better directly from OmniFocus? I'm not sure I understand the value of having it in ~/Application Support/, since no one I know thinks to look there for "their" documents. This will prove problematic in Leopard, I think, with Time Machine: I want to go back in time looking for my OmniFocus document, and I would want to do it in the same place I have all my other documents.

And yes, Mail does let you customize where to save stuff. And yes, we do have a bug filed saying we should let you customize where to save stuff, and another one for building in some back-up support.

A workaround for this...
close OF take the file generated by OF move the file to wherever you want As long as you click on the file to open OF, the file will open. As soon as you click on OF application, it will generate a new file in the old location, or reopen in the old location. I use this trick for carrying OF around on a thumb drive.
