Safari's Hidden Debug Menu

I just discovered that Safari has a hidden debug menu that you can enable with the following command in Terminal:

defaults write com.apple.safari IncludeDebugMenu -bool true

After restarting Safair there is now a "Debug" menu with lots of functionality. Things like:

• Show DOM tree
• Turn On/Off RSS Support
• Log Javascript Exceptions
• Show Javascript Console
• A bookmark to the Shortcuts page at file:///Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/Shortcuts.html
• Import bookmarks from NS/IE/Mozilla
• Open page with an alternate browser
• User Agent settings
• Change the supported protocols (http:, ftp:, etc)
