While on the 'referrer' subject: how difficult is it to make a forced reload 
(F5 in Konq) send the same referrer that was used for originally fetching the 
URL?

There are too many crappy sites out there that do a referrer check and 
redirect you if the referrer is not in their own domain. Result is that an 
aborted page (or download) can never be retried with F5, unless the cache is 
disabled altogether. I don't think that was the intention of the reload 
function :-)
